Teams meeting status

Configuration
1

Does anyone know if there is a way to monitor certain laptops/computers in your home network to know if someone is active in a teams call or meeting? It would be great to see if someone can be disturbed or not.

Maybe by monitoring a certain network port or process? Is there an existing integration?

Woow…thanks! Didn’t find it in my earlier search…this helps (I guess ;-).

Alternatively you can use HASS.Agent to return information - webcam and microphone use - to HA. This can then help with other communication apps too.

True…experimenting with that as well.

GitHub - jimmyeao/TEAMS2HA was written just for this.

Is there a way to install/use this without local admin rights?
–edit–: I’ve found a working solution: AntoineGS/teams-status-rs (github.com)

My app should not require admin rights in itself, however your company may have additional lockdowns in place to prevent you installing software

Thanks for the fast response. It is indeed not allowed to install software without an admin logon, which recently got removed for all employees

@jimmyeao Did you look at all at connecting to Embrava (Blynclight) vs direct Teams integration?

Hi Jimmy

I just downloaded your application and managed to get it running. WithSecure complained about the application twice, first about the setup.exe, then about application itself, but I excluded the application from WithSecure complaints.

Application connects to my MQTT broker well and topis are visible via MQTT explorer. But, I can’t get the Teams2HA to pair with Teams.

I started “Meet now”, with nobody else than myself and clicked “Pair with Teams”. Nothing happens. On the log, following line appears:
[ERR] Failed to connect: Unable to connect to the remote server

Do you have any ideas, how to proceed? My computer has Windows 11, it is company computer and I can launch temporary Admin rights through Carillo service.

@jimmyeao I manged to get Teams2HA paired with Teams. The key was to enable API in Teams client according to Microsoft’s instructions:

Sorry, just seen this, not sure why I didn’t get notifications through! No, I have not looked at that route yet. I considered using MS graph as well, but most organisations worth their salt have that locked down.

Apologies for not seeing your previous message, glad you have it working :slight_smile:
