Unable to get value data in IFTTTT

pyfttt/pyfttt/sending.py

Line 27 in fed3d8e

payload = {'value1': value1, 'value2': value2, 'value3': value3}

I've been trying to get home assistant (which imports this module) to send json data to IFTTT and it's not working correctly. Looking at their docs to get anything usable besides the event name (I could be wrong), you need to send it a different way

https://help.ifttt.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405029291163-Parsing-JSON-body-with-filter-code

Basically

Note that the URL for the [Webhooks - Receive a web request with a JSON payload](https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks/triggers/json_event) trigger is in a slightly different format than the regular IFTTT Webhook URL (https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{event}/with/key/{key} vs https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{event}/json/with/key/{key}).

If the URL of your web request does not include /json/ as above, the {{JsonPayload}} ingredient will be empty:

So it looks like this should have the /json/ path added if the intention is to be able to use any values

pyfttt/pyfttt/sending.py

Line 25 in fed3d8e

url = 'https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{e}/with/key/{k}/'.format(e=event,

Handling negative values

If any value starts with "-" (e.g. "-52,7", "-a") pyfttt fails.
