It looks great if you use a button on the nose of a Rudolf or Santa Claus doll

  DashButtonSanta

  Send information to Santa Claus about the status of the gift request. It uses the geolocation through the WiFi,
  of the Google API, and it is sent to Firebase, along with the state and with the MAC (key value) of the Arduino MKR1000.

  It also sends the information to Twitter @ dashbuttonsanta and to the email dashbuttonsanta@gmail.com through IFTTT.

  On the web https://programarfacil.com/proyectos/dashbuttonsanta/tracking-santa.html you can follow the status of all requests.

  When at the end Santa leaves the gifts on the site sent to Twitter and the email, press the button and gives the delivery finished.

  States:
  0 => Device OFF (LED color red)
  1 => I have behaved well, I have made the bed, I have cleaned the dishes, I have helped an old lady, I pray every night, etc ...
       and I have sent the letter :) (LED color blue)
  2 => Is Christmas Day (LED blink color blue)
  3 => Santa claus left the presents and pressed the button (LED blink color green)

  Errors:
   Wifi shield not present => LED blink Color(233, 149, 16)
   NTP unreachable => LED blink Color(150, 0, 0)

  The circuit:
   Arduino MKR1000
   Pushbutton to pin 6
   pull-down resistor to pushbutton
   3 addressable LEDs

FlashStorage

The FlashStorage library aims to provide a convenient way to store and retrieve user's data using the non-volatile flash memory of microcontrollers.

RTCZero

The RTC library enables an Arduino Zero or MKR1000 board to take control of the internal RTC.

WiFi101 modified

Modification of the WiFi101 library to access the MACs of neighboring routers.

WifiLocation

This is a library that sends Google Maps Geolocaion API a request with a list of all WiFi AP's BSSID that your microcontroller listens to. Google, then answer with location and accuracy in JSON format.
