First, I love the solution you built to solve the "I'm on a call" problem! Also I am very proud (and flattered) to see you that you leveraged my blynclight package to get it done!

I wanted to let you know that the I've stopped working on blynclight (except for small fixes) and most of my effort has gone into the BusyLight package that supports lights from multiple vendors. I would recommend that you swap BusyLight for blynclight, which should be a relatively painless change. That way you'll benefit from continued bug fixes and features as I refine busylight.

The busylight.manager.LightManager class was designed for web API use and provides some threading support (mostly of light animations). I think adapting those threaded animation classes to your use should be pretty straight-forward. If you are interested in a more one-for-one replacement for the blynclight.Blynclight class, you could use busylight.lights.embrava.Blynclight:

from busylight.lights import Blynclight

light = Blynclight.first_light()

with light.batch_update():
    light.on((255,0,255))  

# light is on purple

If you are interested in help with porting your project to the new API, I'd be more than happy to work up a PR for it.

Edited to fix my terrible memory of my own API.
