Automate your smart home by triggering actions with any update in your GitHub repository. This workflow allows you to instantly visualize repository activity by changing a smart light's color.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow bridges the gap between your code and your connected home. By listening for any update within a specified GitHub repository – whether it's a new pull request, an issue comment, or a code push – this workflow triggers a corresponding action in your Home Assistant setup. In this specific implementation, the workflow is configured to turn a designated smart light to a vibrant red, providing an immediate visual cue of activity. It's a simple yet effective way to stay informed about your project's status without constantly checking your repositories.
