# 🦄 Alfred Unicorn Busy Server

Alfred Workflow to manage status of a [unicorn-busy-server](https://github.com/estruyf/unicorn-busy-server/).

![](images/workflow.png)

## Setup

1. Requires **@estruyf** 's [unicorn-busy-server](https://github.com/estruyf/unicorn-busy-server/) server running on a Raspberry Pi w/ a [Pimoroni Unicorn pHAT](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/unicorn-phat)

2. Download latest Workflow from [Releases](https://github.com/davidsword/alfred-unicorn-busy-server/releases)	 tab and install into Alfred

3. Set variables

  - `UBS_BRIGHTNESS` a float for default brightness, between `0.2`-`0.5`

  - `UBS_ADDRESS` the address of your rpi with the port and no trailing slash, example `http://192.0.0.0:5000`

## Usage

![](images/status-current.png)

- Keyword trigger `ubs` view status

- `⌅` to enter the change status

- `⌘⌅` to quick change status to Busy

- `⌥⌅` to quick change status off

![](images/status-select.png)

## Integration

Use external trigger to use workflow to control the status:

```applescript

tell application id "com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred" to run trigger "ubs" in workflow "com.davidsword.alfredunicornbusyserver" with argument "Busy"

```

Accepts `Busy`, `Avaliable`, `Away`, `Rainbow`, `Off`

## TODO

- [ ] Brightness isn't respected at the API level

- [ ] Rainbow via this CURL doesn't work on the API, its `500`ing (for me at least)

- [ ] support for the `/api/switch` endpoint, passing in hex colours, ie `ubs #c0ffee`
