GitHub Repository Update Monitor

Target Audience

• Developers: Those who manage GitHub repositories and want to automate responses to repository updates.
• Home Automation Enthusiasts: Users who have Home Assistant set up and want to integrate it with GitHub triggers.
• Project Managers: Individuals looking for quick visual alerts when changes occur in project repositories.
• Tech-Savvy Users: Those who enjoy customizing workflows and automating tasks for efficiency.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the need for immediate notifications or actions when updates occur in a GitHub repository. By turning a light red, it provides a visual cue to users that something has changed, such as a new pull request or issue. This can help teams stay informed and responsive without constantly monitoring the repository.

Workflow Steps

1. Trigger: The workflow starts with the On any update in repository node, which activates whenever there is an update in the specified GitHub repository.
2. Action: Upon triggering, the workflow sends a command to Home Assistant through the Turn a light red node, instructing it to turn on a specific light and change its color to red (RGB: 255,0,0).
3. Visualization: The workflow includes sticky notes that provide documentation and instructions, making it easy for users to understand the workflow's purpose and functionality.
