Alarm clock on smartphone that is turned off only by standing on a pressure sensitive mat for 10 minutes
- This project had 3 different pieces
- The smart mat
- Pressure sensitive mat that acts as button of sorts - when stepped on, its resistance drops to nearly zero and allows current to flow through.
- Raspberry Pi Zero W that runs a python script which sends HTTP requests to the API hosted on my server
- Sends periodic "heartbeat" POST request every 30 seconds
- Sends POST request whenever the state of that mat changes
- Has ghosting/accidental step off prevention - mat's state must change for >5 seconds before POST request gets send to API
- The alarm clock software and automation on my phone
- "Wake me up!" Android app provides the alarms that are monitored and triggered by "Tasker"
- "Tasker" Android app monitors and triggers alarms provided "Wake me up!"
- The Tasker app is where all of the logic lives:
- Request current state of the mat (stood on / not stood on) every minute
- If mat is not being stood on, retrigger the alarm and reset the minutes stood on counter
- If 10 consecutive iterations (each 1 minute long) occur where the mat is stood on, then disable the alarm
- The public API hosted on my server
- Node.Js with Express
- Receives the mat's current state and filters out false positives
- The smart mat
