This project was born toparticipate in the Arduino cloud games, in this project I want to establish acommunication channel with my girlfriend, where she has the carrier with thearduino and the case at home and I send her nice messages, I can also monitorthe pressure atmospheric, ambient temperature and humidity so that I know if sheis in a comfortable environment. In the beginning I had established in thepresentation of the project for the competition that she could also findinformation about the bodies of the solar system (she is a passionate aboutastronoy) through the display, with the sense of then perhaps it is a ratheruseless function and you could use the kit for controlling the lights in thehis room or some other useful functions, anyway I still completed the projectas I had presented it. I was inspired by the two tutorials Thinking about youand Solar sistem traker on the Arduino website and you should consult it if youwant to replicate it. With this two tutorial I managed to work out my code andadd the desired functions. Compared to the tutorial on the solar system I dothe information from the internet only once at the beginning in the setupfunction to have a free button thatserves as a reading confirmation to the messages I send het through the cloud.I have also modified the code so that everything is on a single page and it isnot necessary to include other *.h files in this case the ones generated automatically by the cloud. Hope you like it!
EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS
Romantic IoT Telemetry
Lover's Helper is an interconnected gift set designed to maintain an emotional connection over long distances using the Arduino IoT Cloud.
- Heartbeat Synchronization Logic: When one user touches their device's capacitive sensor, the Arduino (ESP8266/ESP32) sends a "Pulse" event to the cloud. The partner's device receives this event and instantly flashes a warm LED and/or pulses a vibration motor.
- Real-Time Mood Dashboard: Uses the Arduino IoT Cloud's widget interface to display a "Status" (e.g., Happy, Thinking of you) that can be toggled by the user and viewed by their partner on their smartphone.
Security
- Secure Cloud Pairing: Uses individual device certificates and encrypted WiFi communication to ensure that only the two paired "Lovers" can communicate with each other.
