Raspberry Pi Powered Zoom Meeting Beacon
Do you have meetings throughout the day? Do you need the rest of your household to know that you're in a meeting but don't want to actually speak to them? Try the AIIM Beacon!
Enough of that. The project is called AIIM (Am I In [a] Meeting?). It is a Python script that runs on your local machine which sends a REST call to a Raspberry Pi controlling some NeoPixel (WS2812b) lights to turn on. It uses a very simple Flask app and some basic Python to do everything on both ends.
This works with Zoom really well but it's very wonky with Microsoft Teams. I explain why in the video and in the documentation linked below.
This uses your Tasklist to determine if you're in a meeting. This does not use any APIs or need access to any data so permissions should not be a concern.
