# bathroom-timer

Problem: the kids take showers or are "on the can" for longer than 30min.

Solution: make an alarm that goes off when the door has been closed for 30min.

## Notes

Started with this kit: [Huzzah! Adafruit.io Internet of Things Feather ESP8266 - WiFi Starter Kit](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2680)

But I needed a clock to measure 30min, so I am now using an old, low-voltage RPI Model A+ v1.1.

Still considering the solder kit: [Ladyada's Electronics Toolkit](https://www.adafruit.com/product/136)

- [python GPIO zero](https://gpiozero.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html)
- [MagPI article on programming GPIO on the RPI](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raspberrypipress/released-pdfs/main/simple-electronics-with-gpio-zero.pdf)
