Visualize the state of blue/green deployment using the Athom Homey or Philips Hue.
To build and run, use
# Control Homey using Azure Traffic Manager as source
docker run -it $(docker build -q .) --dns my-site.trafficmanager.net --homey 12345abcde
# Ditto Philips Hue
docker run -it $(docker build -q .) --dns my-site.trafficmanager.net --hue 192.168.0.1 --hue-lights 1,3,6
# my-site.com is cname to traffic manager
docker run -it $(docker build -q .) --dns my-site.com --cname 1 --hue 192.168.0.1 --hue-username xxxxxxx
Homey supports webhooks from the cloud API. You can control the event names in the webhooks by adjusting --homey-*-event
. Create a flow for each event you want to support. In this flow you can adjust lamps, lightstrips, change LED ring color, speak, or whatever.
You can either have the webhook sent with every poll, or only when it is changed (the latter is the default).
Hue support is very basic. Specify the IP and username, and which lamps to control. The colors are hard coded.
The first time you run it, you have to create a username. To do this, just leave out the --hue-username parameter. Press the button on the Hue when requested and note down the generated username. Then add this to the --hue-username
parameter to authenticate.
The easiest way to have it run as a service is probably to create a docker-compose.yml
file and run it with docker-compose up --build -d
. Set restart policy to always
to have it start up automatically after a reboot.
