Introduction
The end result of this project is a traffic light that shows the status of a software build.
It can show the following statuses:
- green: build is OK
- yellow: build compiles but a unit test fails
- red: build has failed to compile
- yellow flashing: build status unknown, e.g. still starting up, connection problem, or we receive a status we don't understand
Hardware
The plan is to use an ESP8266 along with a modified toy traffic light. For example a Wemos D1 mini.
Bonus point if we can add sound when the status changes.
Perhaps this one -> shipping too expensive? Or this one.
Software
ESP8266
Software is written C/C++ for Arduino for quick and easy development using existing libraries, like WifiManager, PubSubClient.
The plan is to simply listen to an MQTT stream. To keep things secure and secret as much as possible, we use an encrypted link to the MQTT server along with a username/password.

- Jenkins traffic light plugin seems to have the wrong kind of interface, designed to directly drive a bunch of wireless 230V sockets instead of just sending the information like I need
