Automate Slack Status and Philips Hue Based on Google Calendar Events

This workflow integrates Google Calendar with Slack and Philips Hue to enhance productivity by reducing interruptions. When a calendar event starts, it updates your Slack status with an emoji and event title, reflecting your availability. Simultaneously, it changes the color of a Philips Hue lamp to signal your status to others, using Home Assistant's local API for control. This setup is ideal for those experimenting with productivity methods like the Diary Detox system, as it visually communicates your working state to those around you.
