QoooBiT

The status light to display availability & operability in your workspace.

What's a QoooBit?

QoooBit stands for Quick Out of Operation Beacon, a status light to display availability & operability in your workspace.

From contact centres to manufacturing, QoooBIT can provide you with instant visibility on:

• Employees working state
• Manufacturing machine status
• Meeting room availability
• Built on a simple API, you can integrate QoooBIT into any service that’s web-powered.

Use QoooBIT to:

• Tell co-workers and managers that you're on a call or need help.
• Flash a color when your website reports errors.
• Set to a static color pending the build status of your projects.
• Change color when your busy or in a meeting.
• Flash when a security door is open.
• Flash a color when an IOT device reports an abnormal spike.

Where to buy QoooBit

QoooBit Store

Install

$ npm install qooobit

Supported versions

This library works with node versions 6, 8 and above.

Usage

• You will need your API key to use this SDK, you can find your API key in your client page at: client.qooob.it

// Initialize the QoooBiT client
var qooobit = require('qooobit')(YOUR_API_KEY);

Defining a color:

To set a color on QoooBiT you must pass the color variable as a comma separated string eg:

var colorToSet = 'RED,GREEN,BLUE';
var colorToSet = '255,0,0'; // Red
var colorToSet = '0,255,0'; // Green
var colorToSet = '0,0,255'; // Blue

Bright and bold colors work better, you can make a rainbow by:

var colorToSet = '255,0,0'; // Red
var colorToSet = '255,255,0'; // Yellow
var colorToSet = '0,255,0'; // Green
var colorToSet = '0,0,255'; // Blue
var colorToSet = '255,165,0'; // Orange
var colorToSet = '128,0,128'; // Purple
var colorToSet = '165,42,42'; // Brown

Projects

If the QoooBIT unit is part of a project then you must pass the ProjectID, QID, Color to be able to make a request.

• Projects are used to group QoooBiT's together in places like contact centers and manufacturing shops where no single user is responsible for a unit but still needs to issue color commands to it. If you bought your QoooBiT unit yourself, you wont need a project for it.

Static Vs Flashing

You can set your QoooBiT unit to a constant color by calling the static function. Once set the unit will remain lluminated in that color until you issue a 0,0,0 command or assign a new color.

You can set your QoooBiT to flash a constant color by calling the flash function. Once set the unit will flash on/off once per second with the color until you issue a 0,0,0 command or assign a new color.

Static colors work great for telling people you are busy and flashing colors work great as a call to action.

var qooobit = require('qooobit')(YOUR_API_KEY);
// 001 is the project ID
// QIDabc123 is the ID of the QoooBiT unit
// 255,0,0 Red, the color to set the unit to

// Sets a static color for a unit inside a project
qooobit.setStaticColorInProject('001', 'QIDabc123', '255,0,0').then((message) => console.log(message));
// Sets a flashing color for a unit inside a project
qooobit.setFlashingColorInProject('001', 'QIDabc123', '255,0,0').then((message) => console.log(message));

// Sets a static color for a unit not inside a project
qooobit.setStaticColor('QIDabc123', '255,0,0').then((message) => console.log(message));
// Sets a flashing color for a unit not inside a project
qooobit.setFlashingColor('QIDabc123', '255,0,0').then((message) => console.log(message));
