For meetings I now have 3 effects.
1. At 1 minute to meeting start the meeting subject is announced on Sonos speakers to awake me from focus. This uses Node to query my Office365 calendar.
2. Two Pi Zeros with LED hats light up during Zoom meetings. This uses the Zoom APIs to receive webhook events that are published to MQTT. The PIs listen to MQTT and adjust the light colors.
3. I have a color changing Pac-Man Ghost light behind me that turns off during video meetings. In this case, my home automation system listens to MQTT events and turns the plug off and on.
Extra. I used the Node/Office365 calendar querying to light up PI LEDs for wife’s meetings and kid’s meetings. I didn’t feel like trying to deal with another company’s Teams API or school’s Zoom settings. The kids meetings were also announced over Sonos in the area of home they were working. It worked well enough we didn’t have to look after them every time class started.
