slack

A simple utility to turn Slack's snooze mode on and off e.g. when you go into a meeting.

With the server running you can teach Siri on your HomePod/iPhone to change your Slack status like this (click for video demo):

Installation

You'll need secrets.yml file with Slack's legacy token. It needs to have this structure:

slack:
  token: your-token-goes-here

You'll also need to install Crystal. It's trivial to do on a modern computer.

On a Raspberry Pi you have to install a semi-official build via Portalier.

Usage

On a modern computer

1. shards install
2. crystal run server.cr
3. http://localhost:6789/

On a Raspberry Pi

1. shards install
2. crystal build -p server.cr
3. ./server
4. http://raspberrypi.local:6789/

Usage with Homebridge

You'll need:

• homebridge
• homebridge-http
• Both homebridge and server running in the background via systemd
• Homebridge config along these lines:

"accessories":[
  {
    "accessory": "Http",
    "name": "Slack",
    "switchHandling": "yes",
    "http_method": "GET",
    "on_url":      "http://127.0.0.1:6789/api/on",
