Story

The story was to take a normally expensive necessity and make it accessible to anyone. With two photons, a servo motor, a reed switch and an old IOS/Android device with a camera, anyone can have the comfort of home security in their household. With the touch of a command on the phone, you can easily lock and unlock your house. If a door is opened, a signal is sent to your camera to record any activity!

Code

int led = D7;


void setup() { 
    pinMode(led,OUTPUT); 
    digitalWrite(led,LOW);
    
    Particle.subscribe("OpenDoor", cameraon , "2e0021001951353337343731");    //subsribes from security camera photon when camera is on
    Particle.subscribe("ClosedDoor", cameraoff , "2e0021001951353337343731");
}

void cameraon(const char *event, const char *data)
{
    digitalWrite (led,HIGH);
    Particle.publish("Camera" , "CameraIsRecording" , PUBLIC);
}

void cameraoff(const char *event, const char *data)
{
    digitalWrite (led,LOW);
