mood_swing

An Alexa app that responds to your mood using music and hue lighting.

Note that this app does NOT require you to have a server running at home. Everything is triggered via IFTTT api calls.

See YouTube app demo video here

Work in progress:

Dynamically respond to emotions with different lights and music.

Note: unfortunatley, spotify api is limited to 30 second previews (not enough time).
