Building a slack integrated doorbell with a M5StickC

Contents

Make things

Make a doorbell with a M5StickC.
When a visitor presses the doorbell, it pushes a notification to a Slack channel.

Hardware you need to build a Slack doorbell is just a M5StickC.
It is ok as long as it is supplied with power.

As for software, go to this page, and get the Webhook URL to send a message to a Slack.

Select the channel where you want to receive a notification, and press “Add Incoming Webhooks Integration.”

var url = 'WEBHOOK_URL_HERE';
var data = {
  "channel": 'CHANNEL_NAME_HERE',
  "username": 'obniz-bot',
  "text": msg
};
