CONSRV is a somewhat failed project for HackUMass V. The team began with intentions on creating a Spotify hook-in that measured vitals (such as heart rate and sweat, etc.) to determine your stress level. This was to be combined with a web interface that allowed users to see their heart rate, and choose whether they wanted music to maintain, increase or decrease that stress. In the end, the team had a solid pace going but were stopped by the realization that the heart rate sensor was a dud and there was no other alternative.
CONSRV was the second wind for the group, which ultimately ran out of time before completion. We submit it to demonstrate the work that was put in, the "slick web interface" and the JS that was learned from scratch over the course of the project. Here's to HackUMass VI!

Save energy, live healthier, and stay greener. Consrv.
I. Capture.
Take in user information including:
- Item name
- Item wattage
- Item 'tag' (essentially a room categorization and usage categorization
- ie. A microwave would be tagged: 'kitchen', 'food'
- Energy cost (/W)
- Can be location based (pull from webCrawl)
II. Process.
- Use categories to generate a series of sliders
- Present user with these sliders to determine their usage, and how much is day v. night (to account for lights)
III. Conclude.
- Present user a report custom to their usage and captured data. Demonstrate estimated cost of the bulk of their usage, and data informing them on how to change their habits to save electricity.
