Baby Care

Recently we have been blessed with new babies in the family, and we wanted to create a device that will make the parents life much more easier.

Our device brings a brand new and complex features which do not exist in the market today.

we designed our device to deal with 5 scenarios:

1. At night mode, the CPX listens to noises and checks if the baby is crying. It records the sound level and the specific time of the crying in a dedicated google sheets so that the parents can be in control of the baby's sleep quality.
In addition, when the baby cries (at a certain time cycle) the device will try to calm the baby with a pleasant melody and calm lights. If the baby continues to cry, the parent will receive a phone call that will wake him up.

2. To remind the parent to feed the baby during eating hours (every 4 hours), the CPX flashes and plays a unique melody that symbolizes the eating time.

3. Every morning at 8:00 am the parent receives an email that includes the daily temperature, If it's raining today, clothing recommendations, and link to a song that matches this weather.
In addition the CPX displays light colors that match this weather.

4. Allows you to post a "Babysitter needed" message in a group of babysitters on Facebook with a picture of the baby using the CPX.

5. Change the air conditioner temperature according to the room temperature. If the room temperature is too low or too high, the CPX increases/ decreases the degrees of the air conditioner respectively.

In the project we use 3 technologies that works together in collaboration:

1. CPX : CPX is a hardware board that has neo pixels, sensors (temperature sensor, light sensor, sound sensor etc) and buttons. In this project the role of the CPX is to measure the temperature and sound, get signals from the user in order to perform actions. in addition it has another role to show data that we get from the internet using it's neo pixels.

2. Blynk: Blynk is a Platform with iOS and Android apps to control Arduino, and the transfer data over the Internet. It's a digital dashboard where you can build a graphic interface for your project by simply dragging and dropping widgets.

3. Integromat: Integromat is a tool that helps you to automate manual processes, without needing code.
It enables one to connect to any API and create complex integrations using built-in apps and tools.

We almost finish :)

For everything to work well, we will need to connect the CPX and the code that we wrote in "arduino":

1. Download the attached arduino code file (with the suffix ino) and make the following changes:

• In the variable "auth" insert your blynk authentication token (you can see how to get it in this tutorial)
• In the variable "ssid" insert your wifi network name

• In the variable "pass" insert your wifi password

2. Connect the CPX to your computer and upload the code in the arduino IDE

3. Disconnect the CPX from the computer and connect it to the battery holder ( you can see picture of this in the Supplies & Configurations step)

4. Place your brand new "Baby Care" device in a designated place in your baby room (preferably in the crib)
