Internet of Things Android App

This project was made at Hacksociety Hackathon. We had two tasks; one was to keep the user notified when someone knocks on their door, and the other one was to turn on/off an LED as the temperature went higher or lower than a fixed value.

In the end, our app sent a push notification from Firebase cloud messaging when the vibration sensor that was mounted on the door activates. The user could open a live camera preview from the webcam via the notification. The user can also access a log of who knocked on the door anytime from the app with a timestamp + picture of the person. The LED color can also be changed through the app, and the temperature and humidity can be displayed.

We used a Raspberry Pi 3, Python for the back-end, and Android for the app.

We won 1st place.
