Summary

Daniel Gentleman created a PagerDuty Arduino integration using an Arduino YUN, a 3D printed sphere, and Adafruit’s Neopixel Ring to provide a visual status update of his PagerDuty dashboard. By utilizing PagerDuty’s API, the device checks for alerts every 15 seconds and changes color accordingly: green for resolved alerts, orange for acknowledged alerts, and red for triggered alerts. To ensure reliability, Daniel implemented a WiFi connection check, pinging Bing.com every second, and the lamp fades to blue if the connection is lost. The simple shell scripts and single I/O pin usage allow for potential future expansions, such as indicating who is on-call or integrating with a robot.
