KH 319: DIY Wait Timer, NAS, and Feedback!


Listen Later

Build your own wait timer out of an Arduino with a light sensor, Synology 1517+ NAS review, a global hotspot, RasPi mSATA, and Synology surveillance station. Wait Timer -- Mark Meszaros "I am currently a resident in a nursing home and have difficulty with what they have as a call light. When you press the button by your bed a small LED light comes on above the bed. The problem is I am visually impaired and cannot see if the small led Is on. After waiting a while I'm always having to press the button not knowing whether the light is on or not. I would like to find some kind of light sensor that I could place over the small LED and have it BUZZ or give some kind of audible sound so I know the button has been pressed, I do have my desktop computer a few feet away and thought about having some kind of USB device that could have my computer produces sound, I am enclosing a picture of the wall plate where the LED is located. I have had dreams of since it was hooked to my computer I would be able to keep a log of how long the light was on each time it's on. Thank you in advance for any help" Gowoops Light Sensor (x10) $12.00 Global Hotspot -- Peter Hanse "+Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ I know on your recent travels you had mentioned a new Mobil Hotspot you were trying. I have an upcoming trip and want to look into one you used. Looked through recent KH show notes and did not see mentioned. " GlocalMe RasPi mSATA -- Rober Hafer "What brand/kind of mSATA card would work best for Raspberry Pi, and keep the build in the "extra Linux computer for my bench" price range?" Pi Desktop CaseSamsung 850 EVO $104 Synology Surveillance Station -- Francis Kindred "To all the users of Synology's Surveillance statioStation wondering if any of you guys bought additional device licenses. I have the DS216 Play and already am using 2 cameras, but tempted to add maybe 1 or 2 more. Curious if I'm the othe onlythat considered it. LOL"
