The SleepBuddy
💁♂️ Summary:
The SleepBuddy is a smart clock ⏰ that helps you sleep. It puts some calm music (Stereo Enclosed Speaker - 3W 8Ω (x2)) 🎵 and a night light (Flexible RGB LED Strip) 🔅 when you go to bed. The night light brightness and the music volume turns down as you fall asleep. You can turn on and off the SleepBuddy with the switch on-off and start the sleep session with the touch sensor.
The SleepBuddy can also :
- Give the room temperature (Temperature, Humidity Sensor) 🌡️
- Turn on light (night light) when it detects something moving (movement sensor) 🐕🐈🚶
- Display 👀 the music you are listening to, the room temperature and the time thanks to its screens (AZDelivery Display Module Vert LCD + AZDelivery LED Display).
- Share information about your sleep with your friend’s SleepBuddy (cross project with @CodingForAddicts) thanks to its wifi 🛜 antenna (Arduino UNO REV 2 WIFI/Bluetooth).
