Asana + OpenHue, Automated by Neotask

Let your workspace lighting respond to your project activity. Neotask bridges Asana and OpenHue so your environment adapts as tasks move, deadlines approach, and work gets done.

What You Can Automate

Change desk lamp color when a high-priority Asana task becomes overdue

Pulse lights green when a project milestone is marked complete in Asana

Dim all Hue lights automatically once all of today's Asana tasks are done

Bring Your Workspace to Life with Asana and OpenHue

Project management and smart lighting might seem like an unlikely pair, but together they create a focused, responsive work environment. With Neotask connecting Asana and OpenHue, your Philips Hue lights can reflect what is happening in your projects in real time, helping you and your team stay aware without constantly checking dashboards.

What This Integration Does

Neotask monitors your Asana workspace and triggers OpenHue commands based on the events that matter to you. You define the rules; Neotask handles the execution.

Task and deadline awareness:

• Change light color when a high-priority task is marked overdue
• Flash a subtle alert when a deadline is within two hours
• Switch to a calm, focused hue when you begin a deep-work task block

Team and project status signals:

• Shift room lighting when a project milestone is completed
• Use distinct colors per project to signal which area of work is active
• Dim lights automatically when all tasks for the day are marked complete

Why Automate Asana with Smart Lighting

Visual cues are processed faster than text notifications. Instead of relying on pings and pop-ups that interrupt your flow, ambient lighting gives you a passive, peripheral signal. You stay informed without breaking concentration.

This is especially useful for:

• Remote teams who want shared environmental signals during collaborative sprints
• Freelancers and solopreneurs who manage multiple client projects and want a physical reminder of context switches
• Focus sessions where phone and desktop notifications are silenced but light changes are still noticeable

Setting Up the Integration with Neotask

Getting started is straightforward. Connect your Asana workspace and your OpenHue-enabled Hue Bridge to Neotask. From there, you can describe your automation rules in plain language or choose from preset templates.

Neotask interprets your instructions and handles the API calls to both platforms. No webhooks to configure manually, no code to write, and no third-party automation boards to maintain.

Example automations you can create:

• "When any task assigned to me is due today, set my desk lamp to orange"
• "When I complete a task in the Design project, pulse the lights green twice"
• "At 5pm, if I have open tasks, turn my lamp red; if all done, turn it off"

A Smarter, More Aware Work Environment

The Asana and OpenHue integration through Neotask is a small change that compounds over time. Your environment becomes a quiet partner in your productivity, reducing cognitive overhead and keeping you grounded in what needs attention next.
