While this project is a \"forcing function\" to build a backplane for data capture and analysis in our lab, it also has some real-world utility.\n\n![RainSnsr Prototype](img/20240620_080820.jpg)\n\n## Zooming out\n\nThis project will be installed where an [Aleko Motorized Retractable Awning](https://www.alekoproducts.com/outdoor-living/awnings/motorized-awnings) is already in place. The objective is to retract the awning if rain rolls up on that location. A previous awning was lost to a squall last summer so this isn't an empty proof of concept. Beyond being a straight replacement, this model has some additional bells and whistles, such as a remote-controllable light strip on the fixture. The RainSnsr device is both to provide a \"backstop\" in case of a situation where the owners can't get to the controls before the wind/rain damage the extended awning. In order to do this, we're physically \"hacking\" an Aleko wireless remote to control the awning directly - separate from the remotes that are already in place on site.\n\n![RainSnsr waterproof grommet](img/20240619_144014.jpg)\n\nThe sensor detects rainfall and retracts the awning through a relay trigger to the hacked remote. There will be some \"wall clock\" timers on the microcontroller to re-check the sensor at some interval. The wiper controlled by the servo clears any drops of water and a new measurement is taken. If it's dry and the weather report (from OpenWeather API) is conducive then the device re-opens the awning.\n\n### Additional Features\n\nThere will be a few things like a \"safety\" closure of the awning half an hour after sunset. And since the Meadow is WiFi enabled there will be a way to activate/control the awning from anywhere via a secure endpoint. \n\n![RainSnsr Prototype cabing mess](img/20240618_213511.jpg)","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fspeakeztech%2Frainsnsr","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fspeakeztech%2Frainsnsr","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fspeakeztech%2Frainsnsr/lists"}
