PR Celebration GitHub Workflow 🎉🎉🎉

#actionshackathon21 #iot

My Workflow

Pull requests deserve to be celebrated 🎉! This workflow integrates with smart devices to celebrate when a pull request is created. This introduces some fun into the process & could help with team morale. It's especially nice when teams haven't seen each-other due to the pandemic. The celebration includes the following:

Turn on 🟢 smart bulb.
Play celebration music 🎵 on smart speaker.
Wait 10 seconds to enjoy the music 🕺.
Send request to Raspberry Pi 🥧 to take a celebration photo:
a. Raspberry Pi takes the photo 📸.
b. Raspberry Pi uploads the photo to cloud storage.
Post message with the celebration picture to the pull request 🎉🎉🎉.

How was this Made?

I already had some smart devices so decided to use whatever I already had for the workflow.

Turning on Green Light 🟢

I used a combination of a green bulb & a TP-Link smart plug for this. The TP-Link plug can be turned on/off using their API but I decided to wrap this functionality into an action that could be used by my workflow & utilized by other workflows in the future. I created this under tplink-action.

Playing Music on Smart Speaker 🎵

I used the spotify API directly for this component. Once authenticated, you can use the spotify API to play songs/playlists on a device associated with your account. I have a smart speaker that is connected to spotify so I just needed to make an API call to play celebration music on this speaker.

Taking & Uploading Photo with Raspberry Pi 🥧

This was probably the most complicated part of the project. I built & expose an API from my Raspberry Pi. The code for this API is here. When a request is made to an endpoint on this API, it takes a photo with a camera module on the Raspberry Pi & then uploads the photo to cloud storage. The API response contains the identifier of the photo in storage so the workflow knows how to use it.
