In the preview, you'll find a selection of informative status messages. These messages are highly customizable, and you have the option to add more as needed. Additionally, the web interface comes prebuilt with essential controls for managing the system.
These include
- System Activation and Deactivation: Granting you the flexibility to open doors without triggering alarms, enhancing the system's practicality.
- Test Notifications: Ensuring the proper functionality of the system by sending test alerts, assuring the setup works as intended.
The user-friendly interface mirrors the code used for customization, simplifying the process for even novice users. You can conveniently replicate example code to maintain this consistency and expand upon it.
While this is a fully functional security system, consider it as a foundational structure to craft a tailored and more suitable application to meet your specific requirements. The server code is designed for user-friendliness and flexibility, making it an excellent template for any creative project ideas you might have.
Setup Guide:
- Hook up the reed switch to desired pins and specify them in the source code.
- Assign your Wi-Fi credentials in the SSID (Wi-Fi name) and Password fields. The system will leverage Wi-Fi as it's main source of communication for alerts (A network cable is a better choice in general in cost of portability).
- Assign the Pin Code field, which will be required for access to the security system's web interface.
- Create an IFTTT account and link it in the source code where specified. This link connects and sends alerts to your smartphone, allowing you to select preferred actions within the IFTTT app.. Don't forget to download the IFTTT app on the smartphone you want to receive warnings/alert on.
- Upload the sketch to your arduino based microcontroller and your web server is primed for action.
