Home Automation

Overview

Have you ever left the house and, hours later, fretted over whether you locked your door? It's a familiar feeling--and one that can be avoided. Our project can be used to solve this all-too-common problem. Through our website interface, a user can remotely lock their door and eliminate the worry associated with common forgetfulness. Using the website, a user will be able to command the physical aspects of our design to activate a servo which pushes the door's lock into place.
