Missing a visitor at the front door usually means missed package deliveries, keeping friends waiting outside, or missing unexpected guests. Standard doorbells only work if we happen to be sitting nearby and the chime is loud enough to hear. If we are stuck in a work meeting, listening to music with headphones, or away from home, it is easy to miss the ring, leaving…

When an ageing parent falls at home, the immediate injury is usually only half the danger. The real danger begins during the critical time they spend waiting on the floor for help. Lying immobile for extended periods can rapidly lead to severe dehydration, hypothermia, and muscle breakdown, even in homes where family members are regularly around. Expecting an injured…

Almost every kitchen has a pressure cooker, but we've all had trouble handling them. It’s too easy to turn on the stove, get distracted by work, TV, or housework, and forget to turn it off. If we miss a whistle count, food gets burned, utensils get spoiled, and there are chances of accidents in the kitchen. But then again, being in the kitchen and manually counting…

Urban areas are now affected by acoustic disturbances; major Indian cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata, and Delhi rank among the noisiest in the world, driven by dense traffic, construction, festivals, and industrial activity. Extended exposure to these noise levels leads to health issues, including disturbed sleep, increased stress, cardiovascular risk, hearing damage,…

Moving through unfamiliar environments is a challenging thing for visually impaired people. We have a lot of solutions, from sticks to obstacle-avoidance handheld devices on the market, to solve their problem. In the DIY world, a lot of makers have built obstacle-avoidance sticks using Ultrasonic sensors, IR sensors or even a PIR sensor and different variations of…

Air is a necessity for us human beings, so monitoring it is important. Air quality is monitored in terms of the Air Quality Index(AQI), a single-number scale used to tell how polluted the air is and what health effects it might cause. Particulate Matter is the microscopic solid or liquid which is present in air in the form of dust or smoke. Particulate Matter is the…

"Is it going to rain, or should I leave the windows open?" we would have asked ourselves numerous times. Now the weather is clear, but sometimes the rain will suddenly start pouring. The standard weather forecast application may give you accurate forecasts near the airport or other places, which are kilometres away from us, but it will not give us accurate forecasts…

In modern day, the need for surveillance systems is increasing rapidly. We have a lot of recognized brands that offer such solutions. But can we extend the capabilities of a $5 ESP32-CAM module to build something similar?In this project, we are going to build an AI-Based No Parking Alert System using ESP32-CAM, in which, if someone parks their vehicle in front of the…

"Where did my pet go?" If you have a pet, you've probably asked this question at least once. One moment they're playing happily in front of you, and the next... they're gone! Maybe they saw a butterfly, started chasing a bird, or simply decided to go on a little adventure without telling you. A GPS pet tracker solves this problem before it turns into a crisis. Now…

In this tutorial, we’re going to learn how to send data from an ESP32 to Firebase Realtime Database. We are using ESP32 Firebase Google as our cloud platform. A lot of cloud-based IoT projects on YouTube / GitHub / similar platforms using ESP32, ESP8266, UNO R4, or similar microcontrollers use Firebase as the cloud platform. And this guide covers the complete ESP32…

We're all familiar with live GPS tracking; it tells us where a vehicle or device is right now. But what if the system could do more than just show the location? That's where geofencing using IoT comes in.  Imagine receiving an instant alert the moment a vehicle leaves home, reaches college, enters the office, or moves into a restricted area. Instead of…

Imagine you've just sent a parcel through a courier service. As soon as it leaves your hands, you start wondering what is happening to it. Is it being handled carefully? Has it been dropped or damaged? Is it still on the right route? Will it reach the destination safely and on time? The truth is, once we send a parcel, we have very little idea about what happens…
