Raspberry Pi controlled Beacon that turns on when it detects a meeting
Uses a flask app on the Pi side and a simple Python 3 script on the windows side run by Task Scheduler.

So what does it do?

Detects if I'm in a meeting and lights up. It's placed in a part of the house where everyone else can see so t hey leave me alone.

I had been looking for an on air sign to do the same thing. How are you detecting a meeting in progress? I know, I can go read the code. TY!
naztronomy
I'm looking at the Tasklist for detecting a meeting. Zoom has a dedicated process but teams is a bit Wonky but still works pretty well.

Just adding to this: I intentionally stayed away from using APIs so that there's no need to worry about permissions and security.

I was doing something similar for Linux in Go. I was only looking for the process, not checking for an active meeting.
trollKiller
Didn't know there was a separate process for that, I admittedly didn't look very hard. I was trying to integrate with Home Assistant.

That's awesome! I plan to do some integration with home assistant at some point as well! Good luck with your work!
