A Slack bot that works with Arduino to tell you if the bathroom is free
NOTE: This is a work in progress and should be used with the coming guide of the Arduino device
Pipibot is a tool for big offices to save time by avoiding long trips to realize that the bathroom wasn't available. It uses an Arduino device with a photoresistor and a Wi-Fi module. The device saves the status of the bathroom so the Slack bot can check it when the user sends the request.
- Install the Botkit dependency
npm install
-
Set up the bot integration in your Slack channel. You will need the Token.
-
Run pipibot, using the token you just copied:
token=REPLACE_THIS_WITH_YOUR_TOKEN node pipibot.js
- Invite pipibot to your channel:
/invite @pipibot. You can also send DM's.
