Add Home Assistant Automations - OStillman/HomeAssistantTeamsStatus GitHub Wiki

All Setup! Now the fun begins...

I don't need to tell you how to setup an automation, or what could be accomplished with this status updater. However, some pointers:

MQTT

This is important! You MUST setup the MQTT integration on Home Assistant!

You then MUST setup an automation for a status change of the teams template sensor to send the correct status to your Blinkt! pi on the correct channel.

  • You may personalise this, but by default it will listen on /work/teams/status
  • It'll react to:
    • Busy
    • Available
    • Away
    • Locked
    • Shutdown (not used via Powershell unless you can work it out, but instead I use a Laptop online ping sensor to send the shutdown command to the Pi when the laptop turns off/becomes unavailable)

These can be changed/edited as required
