Light the Beam

This code hits the NBA.com API daily to check for a Sacramento Kings game. If it finds a Kings game, it calls the API every 10 minutes to see who won the game. If the Kings win, turn the porch light purple. Light the beam!!!

For RaspberryPi, adjust as needed for mac setup.

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/lightthebeam.service

Copy the following contents and save. This will call ./run.sh on system boot:
