Hello,

I want to control my fujitsu heat pump. No node seems to exist to control my device. So I want to go through IFTTT. I installed node-red-contrib-ifttt. Communication is not very stable. I often get the error messages. Since this morning these messages are displayed non-stop.:

IFTTT Read error  
SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0  
refresh token error: "

1. failed attempts. Waiting 100 ms before next attempt.  
refresh token error:
2. failed attempts. Waiting 900 ms before next attempt.  
refresh token error: "
3. failed attempts. Waiting 8100 ms before next attempt.  
refresh token error: "
4. failed attempts. Waiting 72900 ms before next attempt.  
refresh token error: "  
too many refresh attempts, giving up

Here is a very simple example where I want to turn off my heat pump

```auto
[{"id":"2907ebb6.e37fe4","type":"ifttt out","z":"8b8e905c.37879","eventName":"ThermopompeOff","key":"123","x":490,"y":260,"wires":[]},{"id":"123","type":"ifttt-key"}]

```

Update :  
When I trigger the ifttt outside of nodered, my heat pump reacts well and I have no errors. I also did a new deployment of node red. I no longer get error messages all the time.

You could not use the ifttt node and send the http request direct using the http request node.
