Blog2020 ≫ Getting the robot butler to talk to my IKEA lights

Nice, got my new IKEA lights automated with the old Robot Butler. The IKEA phone app is OK, and they come with a remote control, and the Google Home app is REALLY good, and this means they're all voice controlled too. But I want more! I want to set them on a schedule based on my google calendar and now I can. This means I can automate them differently when we're on holiday, or when it's christmas, and things like that.

I will publish my findings, but making use of this to add to this. I need to make a new repo now it's no longer lightwaverf specific, and the docs there don't even explain it has all the features of this one too.
