Step 11: Tie the Pin to the Servo
Use a string to tie the quick-release pin to the servo. A eye hook will help guide the string from the servo to the release mechanism. This string will need to be pretty tight so that when the servo turns it pulls the pin all the way out of the bracket.

Step 12: Automate It with IFTTT
Now that your wakeup machine is all set it, it's time to automate it with IFTTT. If you want to wake up with the sunrise, your recipe would look like this: WHEN the sun rises (and we're pretty sure it will), THEN activate my Wake Up Machine. You could also use the Date & Time channel or the Google Calendar channel to activate the Wake Up Machine at a specific time each day.
