Flash lights for sports (aka Rehash of ESPN pulling IFTTT support...)

I'm guessing there is no good answer, but one of my favorite C4 tricks was to change my keypad colors based on what game was on that night (Red was a subtle reminder to turn on hockey, Orange is my NFL team, etc...) and flash the lights when the game started (a less subtle reminder).

Anyone have an idea how to do this now that the ESPN widget is gone? (and without doing it myself e.g. Blink Lifx Lights When Your Team Scores (techtrek.io))

I miss a lot of games now...

Anyone?

Google or outlook calendar integration and subscribe to those teams calendars in one of those services?

I am pretty sure that there are sites that have APIs where you can get sports scores and other info like game status.  You could then program that to trigger events in C4.  It would probably be easiest to actually run this code on a separate PC and then use something like the Generic TCP driver to send events to C4.
