Twitter-Internet-Of-Things
This project is a super simple barebones way to get your tweets to activate some functionality on a device. The device uses this code to listen to your twitter account. When you tweet it starts. It would be trivial to modify this code to listen to the text property as well and start on a start command or end on an end command.
Installation

pip install moment

Common Issues
- If you get a

error code - you probably forgot to add your keys - Username and UserID have to match and correspond to the account that the device wants to listen to.
