Inspiration
Inspired by Amazon's Ring and Webapp database development. We decided to built a home security system for windows.
What it does
It has hardware sensors that collects data and sends it to a website based on if there suspicious activity or not. It there is a threat, it sends an email. This is intended for window/house security if its built for each window.
How we built it
Using the Grove IoT Starter Kit, we build sensors that gets data and sends serial data to a middleman. This middleman processes that data and sends it to the backend with mongoDB. This backend has a webapp that allows for database storage of the serial data. It will show the alerts, warnings, and threats based on the sensors.
Challenges we ran into
Sending over Serial Data from an arduino. Trying to fix hardware issues. Getting data from the Grove IoT Starter Kit info to the mongoDB. Using a language to call another language's function.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Figuring out each problem with critical thinking. Figuring out how to hook up C and Python, then successfully creating a JSON from the C code in Python to the backend.
What we learned
Full Stack Hardware Development is incredibly time consuming and hard.
What's next for SecureBase
Hopefully adding more things to the hardware, and making everything optimized.
