Github Workflow to change Smart Bulb color to RED on Pull Request

#actionshackathon #github #opensource

Change lightings on a Pull request in Github (or a Push request)

We all get very busy while focusing on fixing that bug or building a new feature but what if something as urgent as a code push or a pull request comes your way.

This workflow which talks to your IOT devices in this specific implementation LIFX Smart bulbs, does notify certain actions on Github by changing bulb color.

This Github Workflow changes Smart Bulb color to RED on Pull Request (and Green on Merge - This part is WIP)

Future integration in progreas:

Changing Yellow color for the bulb on merge conflict event
Applause or cheers sent via Alexa as a speaker (Alexa push voice capability)
Brew coffee using the IOT smart plugs (TP link/Wyze etc)

This was the most basic implementation we could do in whatever time we could get for this hackathon. (The entire team spent close to 4-5 hours only to bring it in this state)
