Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the need for immediate notifications or actions when updates occur in a GitHub repository. By turning a light red, it provides a visual cue to users that something has changed, such as a new pull request or issue. This can help teams stay informed and responsive without constantly monitoring the repository.

Workflow Steps

1. Trigger: The workflow starts with the On any update in repository node, which activates whenever there is an update in the specified GitHub repository.
2. Action: Upon triggering, the workflow sends a command to Home Assistant through the Turn a light red node, instructing it to turn on a specific light and change its color to red (RGB: 255,0,0).
3. Visualization: The workflow includes sticky notes that provide documentation and instructions, making it easy for users to understand the workflow's purpose and functionality.

Customization Guide

- Change Light Entity: To modify which light is activated, update the entity_id in the Turn a light red node to match the desired light in your Home Assistant setup. Use the Home Assistant interface to find the correct entity_id.
- Adjust Light Color: If you want the light to display a different color, change the rgb_color value in the serviceAttributes section of the Turn a light red node. Use an RGB color picker to select your preferred color.
- Modify Repository Settings: Update the owner and repository fields in the On any update in repository node to point to your specific GitHub repository for monitoring.
