Full of wires in your residence isn't a great thing, it will look unquestionably messy.

How It Operates in Real Life

Justin Tsai's Washing Hands Reminder (Arduino)

The light sensor identifies the ray of lights. When the lights are turned on in the restroom, the light sensor triggers the speaker and the LDC screen as well. The speaker will start making the sounds of "do re mi fa sol la si do" until the lights are turned off. The LDC screen shows "Please Wash Your Hands" as a reminder when stepped into the restroom, the text will be gone instantly when the lights are turned off. When the reminder worked and you washed your hands but forgot to turn off the lights, the machine will automatically turn off after a few minutes.
