Synced Ambient Houses

Affiliation: Independent
Role: Hardware Design, Fabrication, Microcontroller Programming
Materials: Wood, Cardboard, Paper, Hot Glue, ESP8266, RGB LED, Haptic Motor, Push Button

This set of paired houses provides a connection between long-distance partners, ambiently indicating when the other partner is awake or asleep, providing a countdown until the next reunion, and transmitting a haptic buzz with a button press.

Each house has single button for input, which can be used to perform several actions.

• Long press: Toggles the house between wake and sleep mode, changing the other house's light to yellow or purple respectively.
• Short press: Displays a countdown to the next reunion date, with the number of red, green, and blue flashes indicating the remaining months, weeks, and days.
• Double press: Transmits a haptic buzz to the other house, activating a vibration motor.
