How it works

SmartDoor

Create a door alarm that send an email when the door has been opened using with a Raspberry Pi and a magnetic sensor.

This is a full stack application, that reads an input from a magnetic door sensor connected to the RPIs GPIO and it send and email notification/alarm when the door has been open. The email alarm can be switched on/off via a WebUI with a button that uses websockets to update.

The process to detect and handle the interruption and send the emails notification of the event is done via a python script, that comunicates via a bash script websocket server using websocketd, the websocket application is used to create a manager front-end WebUI to enable/disable the email alerts.

The front-end is done using boostrap javascrip jquery, one the back-end we use php with nginx and mysql but it can run on any other web server type stack. on-device, on-premise or on the cloud.

Future functionality is the posibility to create a timeline with the times when the door was open and close and a programmable timer that notifies if the door has been open for more than some choosen time.
