Action Project Description:
|
For my action project, I designed a device to record the temperature of multiple freezers/refrigerators and periodically record them on a google spreadsheet. It also sends a text message and email alert when one or more temperatures is above a certain threshold. For this project, I used arduino hardware that connects to wifi and a breadboard style circuit. The San Juan Basin Health Department requires that restaurant owners record the temperatures in each refrigerator every day, however it is time consuming to do on a busy day. My device solves that problem by automating the process and is currently installed and working in Singletrack Cafe.
