Switch leads to ESP8266 GPIO pins 13, 12, 14, 4, 5, and 16 (NodeMCU pins marked D7, D6, D5, D2, D1, and D0).

The circuit diagram details the following connections: I used a multimeter to figure out which switch leads connect to which dial positions. I chose to use a rotary switch to dial in my status from a bunch of choices around the circle. In the next unit, you learn about the nuances of search in Slack, so you can home in on the information you need when you need it.From here, it’s all about the physical interface and what statuses you program it to set for you.

Others can continue to message you or mention you in channels, but they see a snooze indicator whenever your notifications are paused. From the dropdown, select the duration, create a custom duration, or click Set notification schedule to create a default time for receiving notifications.You can even set a notification schedule for routine times you'd prefer not to be notified. Reduce distractions when you’re off the clock or when you need time to focus by pausing your notifications in Slack. When you wish to set your availability as active again, simply go back to your profile and click Set yourself as active.If you’d like, you can manually set yourself to active or away at any time. Slack also indicates your availability automatically with a dot next to your display name and sets you to away when you’re inactive for a period of time. This displays your time zone and work hour information in your profile so your teammates can see it when they need to. Depending on what fields are available to edit, edit your time zone and work hours.Note, this depends on whether your admin has enabled fields for time zone and work hours. Set your time zone and work hours in your profile. Also, if you’re headed into a meeting, for example, you can set your status to let others know you won’t see messages until later. You can do this by keeping your profile up to date with your time zone and working hours.

It's helpful to let your teammates know when you won’t be able to respond to messages right away and when you're available. With Slack, you can easily share your whereabouts and availability with your team, and reduce distractions outside of working hours or when you need time to focus. Working hours and schedules can vary for you and the people you work with, so letting your team know when you’re unable to respond to messages right away helps set expectations. After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:
