Slack LED toggle switch with Raspberry Pi. Listens for a turn word, and then turns a LED on or off.
Simple example on how to interact with Raspberry Pi via a Slack team/channel.
This is meant to be used with Raspberry Pi, tested on Raspbian Jessie. Also requires Node.js 0.12 to latest
# clone repo to your local directory via ssh
$ git clone git@github.com:gabrielboliveira/slack-led.git
# or via https
$ git clone https://github.com/gabrielboliveira/slack-led.git
# cd to directory
$ cd slack-led
# and then install npm dependencies
$ npm installFirst, run the script on the Raspberry Pi:
# build
$ npm run build
# and then run it
$ npm start
# if you need to change GPIO or PORT just add ENV variable before the npm start
$ PORT=65000 GPIO=15 npm start
# default: PORT=3000 GPIO=14Remember that you must have the port opened and forwarding to your Raspberry Pi on your router or firewall, if applicable.
Configure a Outgoing Webhook on your Slack team.
- Channel: the channel you want to listen the words.
- Trigger word(s):
turn - URL: http://{your-ip}:{port-chosen}/led. Example: http://123.456.789.123:3000/led
All other configurations you can choose your own. For example, I changed the name to Raspberry Pi and downloaded the Raspberry Pi Foundation logo from their website. (Remember that Raspberry Pi and their logo is a Raspberry Pi Foundation Trademark.)
Then it should be all working. Test it by typing turn on and turn off on the channel you chose.
