In the previous step you installed the software on the Pi. In this step you will connect an Azure Logic App to control the lights.
Finally my light needs to be controlled. I want it to turn red automatically when a meeting starts, then turn green when it ends. This can be done using Azure Logic Apps.
Azure logic apps are not free, but are VERY cheap for small numbers of runs. For example at the time of writing, a single run on a logic app is $0.000025 per action, so to poll for meetings every 10 minutes each day might cost $0.50 a month.
Logic apps are no-code apps where you can connect triggers to actions, and these can connect to external services such as Office365 and IoT Central. I want mine connected to my Office365 calendar to poll for upcoming events, and if it finds any schedule calls to IoT Central to execute the Update Colour command.
You can also set up logic apps to control the lights based on a wide variety of triggers in addition your Office365 calendar, such as a button like a Flic button.
Follow the steps below to set up the lights for different triggers:
In this step you connected an Azure Logic App to control the lights. Your light is now complete!
