Outcome

In this project, a neopixel strip was used to emit and change colors based on IFTTT triggers connected to Google Calendar. By default, the neopixel strip always shines white light; 15minutes before an event on Google Calendar is about to begin, the neopixel begins fading red. Once the meeting time is reached, the neopixel begins fading back to white over the next 15 minutes.
Examples of IFTTT sending successful triggers from Google Calendar events to the Particle function can be seen above.
For the sake of showing off functionality in a small embeddable video, the neopixel color fades are sped up by 100x, and the Particle Function that IFTTT would have triggered with a calendar event is triggered manually instead for the video demonstration.
