Story

Step 1

Since a few months ago I have been developing a shower-type device that avoids the great waste of drinking water that many people do every day when take a bath, this waste is due to the incredible abuse that means bathing consuming 5, 10 or more liters of water per minute in a shower at high pressure, this waste is also given by the clean water that is left to run to the drain because it is not hot enough before take a shower. If we live in a modern city we take for granted drinking water in our house by pipe and forget that millions of people suffer to obtain a minimum quantity of clean water to survive, sometimes they have to settle for unsafe water to drink, cook or clean themselves .

Step 3

A few days ago I learned that Cape Town in South Africa suffers from a critical shortage of water due to drought and has asked residents to restrict consumption to 50 liters per person per day, it is expected that if weather conditions do not change in April 2018 the city it will run out of water and millions of people from a large urban center will face an uncertain destination without access to water. What is happening in Cape Town is the reflection of the future of cities in the world ?, I do not know, in any case this project aims to offer a new perspective to the way we bathe, rationalizing the water and time spent to this important activity.

Step 4

When I came to this challenge I did not know much about Alexa, so learning about this technology was very challenging, in addition to my English speaking level is not very good, thanks to Amazon Developer's online resources, online forums and YouTube videos get enough knowledge in a short time to make this prototype of what I call "Wise Shower" .

No doubt being able to control devices with the voice opens many opportunities to people with mobility problems, since they can take a bath independently, that in itself offers a justification to this project.

In the technical aspect build this device is not very complicated, the parts are easy to get and are very cheap, that it involves working with voltage of 110 V for what you have to be very careful and seek the help of a professional in the subject to install an electric shower safely, for me the most difficult part was to understand the Alexa technology and the whole development environment but once I reached a basic level of knowledge I was able to build the prototype.

Step 5

There is nothing I can say about Alexa and how to develop Skills, AWS IOT, Lambda, there is a multitude of references on the Internet and in Amazon Developers site. In my video I put links to other videos on YouTube that were fundamental to develop this project.

I insist that the explanation video I think I give all the necessary information on how to build this prototype but if you have any questions I will gladly answer as best I can.
