Custom auto alert door security system |
My home has been broken into 2 times in the last year when I was not home. I don't currently have a proper security system installed for my doors & windows, because my parents are unable to afford one. So for my project I plan on creating an automatic wireless alert system for my front door using a Flipper Zero device to receive input from a door sensor & then use the radio frequency transmitter on the flipper to send out a signal to my Arduino Uno with a radio receiver antenna connected to my wifi network, running an automatic notification system to automatically send me a text message to my phone using the twilio API. I will then be notified by text every time the door is opened when i'm not home and hopefully this will prevent and future break-ins.
What steps are you going to take to build it? What tools are you going to use? What will you do first, second, third, etc.?
- Buy all required items listed in the budget. I already own most of the items needed for this project (connectors, many other arduino components.
- Connect the Prototyping Board to the Flipper Zero using the GPIO ports
- Connect a distance sensor (already own) to the flipper and once the sensor's distance from the door jam & the door changes by 1cm, it will trigger the send signal
- Design and flash a custom software to the flipper to trigger a 500 MHz signal to be sent via an antenna connected to the flipper (already own)
- Configure the arduino uno (already own) to recieve this signal sent by the flipper via an antenna.
- Set up the software on the arduino to run a program sending a request to the twilio API to send an SMS message to my phone saying "Front door opened at: TIME"
