Smart Blinds
It's sunny, lower the blinds!
Made by Melanie Swartz
Introducing, Smart Blinds! This system can sense when the light is coming in the windows and automatically lowers the blinds. An LED symbolizes the motor of the blinds. When the LED is on the blinds are being lowered. As the pressure sensor is pushed, symbolizing the blinds coming to their resting point and being closed, the LED turns off showing the motor in the blinds has stopped as well. If the desired light threshold is exceeded, the above process is initiated. Otherwise, when light is below the threshold, it is showing that it is not bright enough to have the blinds down and the blind motor is off as well. Ideally, this would be part of a bigger system where one could customize their thresholds to regulate the amount of light coming through their windows. This would automate the process so your house could accommodate your desired comfort levels and make these adjustments for you.
