Overview
Don't you just hate it when you walk all the way down to the laundry room to find every single machine in use? Our 'Smart Home' idea will bring a solution to this problem. Our idea consists of a device that will alert, through text message, a washing machine's user that his or her laundry is done. We believe our device will cut the waiting time by a significant amount. To meet this goal, we will be creating a device using a raspberry pi 0 and a vibration sensor. First the user will scan a qr code link them to a website where they will interact and express that they have started their laundry load. The pi will use the vibration sensor to determine when the laundry machine has finished the load. When the load is finished, using Twilio API, the pi will send a text message to the user telling them that their laundry has been finished.
