Moves the chime on/off switch on our grandfather clock to a schedule. Change schedule and/or manually turn on/off/silent mode via iPhone or Alexa. Arduino Nano 33 IoT updates from internet time server. Time/status displayed on 16x2 LCD. Also sends me a text message if it ever resets due to internet or power outage.

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS

Horological Preservation & Modernization

This project uses an Arduino to "Silently" move the chime mechanism of a vintage Grandfather clock during specific hours (e.g., 10 PM to 7 AM) without altering the clock's mechanical integrity.

  • Servo-Assisted Silencing: A small Micro Servo is mounted near the chime hammers. When "Night Mode" is active, the Arduino rotates the servo to physically block the hammers from striking the gongs/tubes.
  • Real-Time Clock (RTC) Sync: Uses a DS3231 RTC to track time with ±2ppm accuracy.

Cloud Control

  • Arduino IoT Cloud Dashboard: Developed using the Arduino Web Editor, this allows the user to manually override the "Night Mode" from their smartphone or adjust the silencing schedule via a web browser, blending 19th-century mechanics with 21st-century IOT.
