Inspiration
Google Nest Thermostat
What it does
A smart outlet that allows the user to control which devices and lights he/she wants to turn off when they exit the house, and sends them a notification if they leave without remembering to do so. The app connects the phone to the smart outlet through Bluetooth to send messages to the outlet wirelessly.
How I built it
Arduino and Android Studio
Challenges I ran into
Time constraints
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Actually developed the app in 24 hours, which we were not expecting to happen
What I learned
How to develop apps for Android, how to use GitHub
What's next for GoEco
Will develop and expand upon at another hackathon
