Project Goal

The goal of the project is to prototype an unobtrusive and “Calm” way to monitor what Fermi is doing. His owner should be able to be made aware of Fermi’s status without actively seeking out the information.

Fermi is a Greyhound, a breed known for sleeping throughout the day. As such, Fermi being located on his bed is a fair proxy for ruling out unordinary events that might be of concern to his owner.

The ultimate vision for the project is to detect when Fermi is on his bed and when he is not, and utilize an orb to display his status remotely, with an ambient glow. 

For the purposes of this prototype, a sensor will detect whether Fermi is on his bed (or not), and post that status to Twitter.
