Convenience IOT Projects

I’ve also done the gas bottle one, that was fun. Added an oled screen so I can see the weight/percentage at a glance


Apart from that, I’ve done:

  • Kids’s Night lights
  • The usual garage doors/driveway gates
  • Some LED reading light strips for our guest room
  • An “availability” light for my office door, which turns red when my webcam or mic is on, orange if my phone leaves the office, and green otherwise.
  • Geyser temp sensor, which is used by NodeRed to determine, based on temp/time/solar battery/etc whether to turn on the geyser using my CBI Astute switch or not.
  • Use a combination of CCTV object recognition and alarm zones to
    – Turn on my patio lights after dark when motion is sensed (useful when arriving home at night, etc)
    – Send me a notification if movement is sensed when the alarm is on, along with a picture from the relevant camera
    – Alert me if a driveway gate/garage door has been left open, again with a pic, with option to close it

Planned:

  • Garden lights
  • Kitchen down lights and cupboard lights
  • Garage car sensors
