We wanted a noticeable feedback when some jobs from our Continous Integration (Jenkins) failed. When anything goes horribly wrong, the whole office should be alerted by a light turning red.

...is exactly this (and more). Since 2012 we built and tried different lamps with a web interface and wifi connection. The latest versions in this repository are affordable and easy to build.

The lamps do have a HTTP API so you can control them with jenkins jobs, change their color, let them fade and blink.

In the subfolders you can find different types of buildlamps and a manual to make them Jenkins ready. Additionally, the HTTP API makes it easy to use the lamps for all kind of purposes, like a "do not disturb" lamp, or a lamp which shows your computers cpu temperature or... — you can most likely think of better uses.

• The Spark Core variant — Wifi, Cloud connected
• The Arduino Ethernet variant — Ethernet, local server

Try it out, build your own buildlamp and share what you did via the issue tracker or tweet us @buildlamporg. 💡
