Inspiration
Tired to see many unread and important emails, wanted to make hardware interface to display this data. To create a convenient notifier for any email application to show this email.
What it does
It takes data from webmail and stores temporary data to be fetched by Wifi module to display on LCD screen with unread and important email quantity.
How we built it
We used python to fetch data from Webmail on Linux machine and send this data using UDP to NodeMCU Wifi Module to display data
Challenges we ran into
The balance between hardware reliability, technology and scalability
Accomplishments that we're proud of
To complete project as thought in mind before arriving to the HackDFW with nothing-in-hand!
What we learned
It made our skills in hardware interface, programming skills and make new friends.
What's next for IoT Email Notifier
We can make it scrolling and use public Wifi for commercial purpose to help other people like both of us with this issue.
