I have written a client for Webex Teams (in Powershell no less hahaha). Its works well but still has a ways to go before it is fit for public consumption. I will eventually convert it to another language and compile it to an exe.
It occurred to me while I was writing it, that it would be nice to add a simple integration to the existing Embrava Connect client. In the client, add a screen that allows you to register a new source. The screen would allow you to browse to a txt or csv. The Embrava client would then poll that file for changes, lets say every 5 seconds. The file would have just one line of text that is overwritten each time. That line would have and fixed format:
color, blinkspeed, dim
The Embrava Connect client already knows the device ID, and so it reads this line and sets the color and blink. Color can be one of the predefined colors, or it can be a semicolor seperated list of rgb values. A value of 0;0;0 or black would mean to turn the light off. Blinkspeed would be 0-4. Where 0 is stop blinking and 4 is phase. Dim would be 0 or 1. If the file is blank then no action is performed and one of the other "Active" sources in the client is used for status.
Adding this simple source would allow anyone to create a basic client by just dumping simple text values to a file.
My 2 cents.
