Overview of Philips Hue#

The Philips Hue API offers rich control over Philips Hue smart lighting systems. Via Pipedream, you can automate your lighting based on various triggers – think syncing lights with the sun's cycle, changing color to indicate new emails, or even integrating with motion sensors for a smart-home experience. With Pipedream's capabilities to connect to countless services, the possibilities of creating personalized lighting scenarios are vast, limited only by your imagination and the availability of triggers or events from other services and devices.

Adding Google Calendar to Your Jamstack - with Pipedream

Late last year (remember last year - sigh) I wrote up a post demonstrating how to integrate Google Calendar into your static web site: "Adding Google Calendar to your JAMStack". In that article, I describe how I used Google's Node libraries to read my event data. While it was mostly painless, authentication was a bit difficult to figure out. A few days I was thinking about this usecase and realized I could probably do it a lot easier making use of Pipedream. How so? Don't forget that Nelify lets you create a build hook. This is a unique URL that when hit with a POST request will trigger a new build. In theory, all I have to do is create a Pipedream workflow that's fired on new events. How is that done?
