Internet of Coffee

Inspiration

We wanted to connect something that hasn't been connected before.

What it does

An espresso machine can be remotely switched on with the use of an Android device.

How I built it

We used an Intel Edison to constantly check a Firebase variable for an op-code activation from an Android device, which would then use a servo motor to physically flip the espresso machine switch.

Challenges I ran into

• LCD screen
• Shield
• Firmware
• Servo resetting to zero

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

In an unorthodox fashion, we connected a hardware device to the internet purely through mechanical means.
