Process

The initial concept of the "punishment" would involve the smart plug aggressively yanking the cable, like a cruel pet owner yanking the leash of a misbehaving puppy.

However, we soon ran into a technical issue: the motors we were using did not have the power to "yank" on something as heavy as an alarm clock or lamp. We then pivoted to another concept, utilizing an LED strip to simulate the shock travelling through the cable and into the peripheral device, causing a shock. The shock effect will reflect on the TFT screen with random text and flickers.
