On Air

Connects the webcam of my computer to my "on-air" sign. It toggles our cheap wifi lamp dongle thingy (https://github.com/vikstrous/zengge-lightcontrol) on or off, based on whether or not my webcam is active.

Install

Running the application requires that you have inotifywait and fuser installed. Also Linux, most likely

Golang is needed to compile it.

$ make
$ make install # installs the application
$ make install-service # installs application as a service

Usage

Controls the on-air sign in our apartment

Usage:
  on-air [command]

Available Commands:
  daemon      Continuously checks for webcam usage and toggles the light
  off         Turns off the light
  on          Turns on the lamp

Flags:
      --config string   config file (default is $HOME/.on-air.yaml)
  -h, --help            help for on-air

Use "on-air [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Todo / Ideas

• More Testing IRL
• Support for multiple computers on the same local network
• detect microphone usage
