My Cat's Smart-Room Controller

Kaleb's Smart Room Controller

Overview

The purpose of this project is to increase automation within Blink (my cat)'s living environment.

• Turn on the air freshener and hue lights when the cat is detected entering her litter box
• Detect the temperature of the cat's room and light up LED's on the board accordingly. -flash hue lights when the temperature changes enough to change LED colors
• 3D model a button knob for the encoder using this link: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15141 -click on the features tab in the link
• Full user input to adjust hue lights -Change brightness via potentiometer -Change active light via encoder -Turn on active light with a single click -Change active light color with a long press
• Keypad that takes in a passcode input -locks all user inputs when code is not entered -unlocks when correct passcode is entered -keypad can be re-locked via the '#' key
• Display lock/unlock status on OLED

The controller will have the ability to be manually controlled ontop of the automatic triggers.
