Turn Light Red on GitHub Repo Updates

This n8n workflow monitors a specified GitHub repository for any updates, including pushes, pull requests, issues, and more. Upon detecting an event, it instantly triggers a Home Assistant action to turn on a designated light (e.g., light.lamp) and set it to red RGB color (255,0,0). It's a simple yet effective way to get physical notifications without relying on screens or sounds.

Benefits include real-time awareness for developers, home lab enthusiasts, or teams tracking repo activity. It saves time by providing a glanceable visual cue in your smart home setup, reducing the need to constantly check GitHub notifications or dashboards. Perfect for personal productivity or fun IoT experiments.

Use cases: Monitor your own repos for commits during coding sessions; alert teams on critical project updates; integrate with smart desks or ambient lighting for immersive dev environments. Requires GitHub and Home Assistant credentials; easily customizable for different colors, entities, or events.
