What if we could use connected devices to make the restroom experience less hazardous?
Created: January 25th, 2018
Living in a house with ten people sharing three and a half bathrooms, my friend Hal* is wary of the cleanliness of his restroom. Naturally neat, he worries about the germs and detritus that could be shared. What if we could use connected devices to make Hal’s restroom experience a bit less terrifying?
Using a Particle Photon microcontroller, a breadboard, two or three servo motors, an LED indicator light, either a switch or an FSR, acrylic components, and the blynk@0.5.0 smartphone app library, the IOTOILET mechanism will automatically lift and lower the toilet seat. The system will engage with Hal and other users through a smartphone app as well as through an indicator light.
