EditDescription
Build Street Light
Have the ultimate notification of your TFS Builds. Control Lava Lamps, Street Lights, or any other lamp device to show if the build has succeeded, failed, or is currently building. The DeviceController task has been added to the Team Deploy tasks project. This task calls the
x10 Firecracker kit.
EditUsage
Purchase the
x10 Firecracker kit
Download the Team Deploy tasks from
www.CodePlex.com/TeamDeploy
In addition to installing the tasks on your build server. You will need to install the x10Communicator execute a machine that is close enough to your lights. Usually the build server in the server is too far to use the wireless devices. The x10 firecracker transmitter will need to go on this machine.
Add the script below to your TFSBuild.proj to turn the light on for
- Successful builds override the AfterEndToEndIteration
- Failed builds override the AfterOnBuildBreak
- Start of build override the BeforeEndToEndIteration
