With the coronavirus outbreak, it is important to always remember to sanitize your hands before entering your house to prevent any bacteria you get in public areas to enter your household. To remind people to sanitize before entering an area, I have created a sanitize reminder. When the sanitize reminder detects people entering but the sanitizer bottle isn't taken, it will send an alarming beep noise and a led light will light up to remind people to take the bottle and spray their hands will sanitizing alcohol before entering.

Build the circuit according to the picture provided above

Upload the Code

Circuit Working

Upload the code in this link: https://create.arduino.cc/editor/phoebelin/c478b6...

After uploading the code, test if the circuit work. If the circuit work, it should have the affect shown above.

Decorate and Wrap the Machine

I used colored paper to cover the box and decorate it, but you can just find any random box and drill holes for the led light and the photoresistor to stick out.

And Now You Are Done!
