The Intelligento 3000

🏆💰🧈Protect Your Gold Like a Billionaire

Tired of hiding your gold bars in your sock drawer? Introducing the Intelligento 3000, the world’s smartest, funniest, and most paranoid safe. Designed as an academic project at UniLaSalle Amiens (http://www.unilasalle-amiens.fr), this high-tech fortress features a fancy LCD screen to guide you and an RFID badge reader that only lets the chosen ones in. Your treasure is protected like Fort Knox—just with more style.

Not only does our safe keep your gold secure, but it also keeps a complete history of who tried to get in — displayed on a local website secured with a Login system of course, because nothing says luxury like real-time intrusion logs. Built with Arduino, LoRa, and some Java magic, the Intelligento 3000 doesn’t just guard your wealth — it makes you feel like a tech genius every time you use it.

📖 Story: Once Upon a Time in a Very Rich Family’s Mansion...

Deep inside a palace, a family of eccentric billionaires had a problem. Their gold bars were too shiny and too tempting. They tried everything — guard dogs, laser traps, even hiding gold in the fridge behind the mayonnaise. But nothing worked.

That’s when we invented The Intelligento 3000, the smart safe that combines luxury, paranoia, and cutting-edge tech. Inspired by spy movies and our love for unnecessary over-engineering, we created a system that’s high-tech, highly secure, and just a little bit ridiculous.

💡 What does this project actually do?

The Intelligento 3000 is no ordinary safe. Here’s what makes it special:

• LCD Guidance System — The safe talks to you like your personal butler, guiding every step.
• RFID Access Control — Only authorized badges can open it. Your neighbor’s cat? Denied.
• Real-Time Log Tracking — Every time someone tries to open the safe, it’s logged in a fancy local website. Who, when, and if they succeeded — all recorded.
• LoRa Communication — The safe talks to the cloud (TTN) and the data gets processed and stored safely in a local database.

👷‍♂️ How does it work?

• When someone approaches the safe, the LCD screen politely (but firmly) tells them to scan their badge.
• The RFID reader scans the badge.
• If the badge is recognized, the safe unlocks (with a very satisfying "click") and the event is logged.
• If the badge is not recognized, the safe stays locked and the event is logged too — because we love drama.
• All this data (who scanned, when, and the result) is transmitted using LoRa to The Things Network (TTN), then retrieved by a Java application that saves everything in a SQliteDB database.
• Finally, we built a local web interface that lets you browse the history like a millionaire checking his stock portfolio.

🔧 Schematics — The Intelligento 3000 System Overview

• Badge Scanned by RFID reader.
• Arduino Leonardo processes the badge data.
• Badge authorized? Open the safe (servo motor unlocks).Badge denied? Buzzer screams + log the failed attempt.
• Log data is sent via LoRa to TTN.
• TTN forwards the data to our custom Java backend.
• Java saves data to MariaDB.
• Local website displays history beautifully — like a luxury dashboard for your gold vault.

🛠️How I worked?

I started by arguing with myself about the name (Intelligento 3000 won because it sounds fancy and made me laugh).

Then, I took care of everything:

• I assembled the hardware, built the box, and wired all the components (which included accidentally stabbing my finger with a screwdriver — twice).
• I wrote the Arduino code to read the RFID badges, display messages on the LCD, and trigger the lock.
• I set up the LoRa communication to send the access data to TTN (The Things Network).
• I developed the Java application to collect data from TTN and store everything in the database.
• I also created the web dashboard to show the full history of scanned badges, along with timestamps and access results (open or denied).

Prototyping was... an adventure. I started by building a simple wooden box right away — after all, a treasure chest for gold needs to look the part. Along the way, I became an expert in creative wiring (also known as "how did this even work"), and I spent hours debugging like a detective solving a crime scene.

Every step taught me something new — mostly how to avoid setting my fingers on fire with the soldering iron.It was a one-person show, full of fun, frustration, and a lot of coffee.

🏁 Final Thoughts (a.k.a. Why This Safe Is Cooler Than Yours)

The Intelligento 3000 is not just a safe — it’s a storyteller, a guard dog, and a tech toy all at once. It combines:

• Physical security (real lock, real box)
• Digital security (RFID + logs + alerts)
• Cloud integration (LoRa + TTN)
• Stylish user experience (LCD + web dashboard)

In the future, we could add:

• Fingerprint recognition (because why not)
• Face recognition camera (to see who steals your gold)
• Remote unlocking via smartphone app (for lazy billionaires)
• Gold weight sensor (so you know if someone took one bar for “emergencies”)
