Tiny WiFi Busy Light

Description

With many people working from home for the foreseeable future, a way to notify everyone else in the household if you can be disturbed behind closed doors is crucial. A WiFi connected BusyLight using a Wemos D1 Mini and two NeoPixels can be placed outside the office door or anywhere else in the house. A GUI for color selection and (coming soon) calendar integration.

With many people working from home for the foreseeable future, having a portable wifi in every household is a smart idea to see the bright side of things. This project can be shown either outside the office entrance or within the residence. I hope they are successful in making this technology available to the general public.

Unfortunately as many experts who have been interviewed via Internet video can attest, kids will pay no attention to such barriers, much to the delight of audiences. 🤣
