1  ## New-Year-Tower-Light
 2  IoT Tower alert we did on the last night of 2015!!
 3  
 4  We make a tower alert that responds to github events:
 5  
 6  - [Github] publishes repo events to a number of webhooks. But in reality, any service that speaks http can be used.
 7  - [AWS lambda] receives the github webhooks and publishes MQTT events. [python code](lambda/)
 8  - [Adafruit io] provides a MQTT gateway.
 9  - A little [ESP8266 HUZZAH] receives the MQTT messages and controls the red, yellow, and green lights of a tower alert. [huzzah code](esp8266/)

11  The live coding video can be found on [youtube].
