Python script that interacts with the Slack Python API to receive commands from users. It runs on a Raspberry Pi within the IEEE at UCLA lab, and is connected to a local network so that it can scan for mac addresses that are connected to the network.
IEEE at UCLA, an EE and CS student organization on campus, has a lab that is only open when officers are in the lab for assistance. Although the lab is regularly open on weekdays from 10AM-6PM, members often wonder whether officers are keeping the lab open during irregular hours/weekends, or whether specific officers such as project leads are in the lab. This bot serves as an aid to that problem, and notifies members of which officers are in the lab.
