Track your work hours in iOS Calendar
How this automation works
Automatically flash your LIFX lights when a new event is added to your iOS Calendar. This Applet runs whenever a new event appears in your chosen calendar and makes your lights blink the color you select. It’s great for visually staying on top of new meetings or appointments without checking your phone.
