Blink1Control: add Slack integration #275

Open todbot opened 8 years ago

todbot commented 8 years ago

Looks like it might not be too hard to add Slack integration, since IFTTT Slack channel doesn't support Slack event triggers.

Slack API: https://api.slack.com Supported events: https://api.slack.com/events

Perhaps Blink1Control configuration is:

  1. User inputs Web API auth token generated here: https://api.slack.com/web
  2. User picks which events they want and what color patterns to trigger

Consider https://github.com/dschep/ntfy as a simpler alternative. Once configured, ntfy send "foo" will work just fine from the CLI, so it should be trivial to use with blink as well.

This would be cool! Can someone provide good instructions or an example of this set up? This would give my blink a purpose.

Just looking to see if anyone has made any advancements on this? This sounds really interesting and I'd like to implement this in our business

+1 Would love to have that. All my colleagues have their sound disabled for a good reason, so they do not see when I wrote a slack message to them. I would persuade my boss to buy 8 x blink1 immediatly, if this feature would be implemented

If you do not want to expose a server, you can use the Slack Real Time Messaging system to create an interaction between Slack and the Blink1 device.

Here is an example in Python 3.6. It's based on the Full Stack Python blog.

Ok, thank you. How would I implement something like that on OSX in an easy way?

https://github.com/todbot/Blink1Control2/pull/139 Blinker controller now can start a server and listen on the RTM with a classic slack app.
