I am trying to design a baby monitor solution for my hard of hearing friend (HHF).
Design criteria:
- HHF needs vibrating alerts when the baby monitor is triggered
- Ideally, these should happen on his person so his spouse can sleep
- Spouse wants a video screen / the usual stuff
I've divided the problem into the baby monitor and the on-person vibrating device.
Baby monitors: the Arlo is supposed to work with IFTT but does not in practice. The Nabi Artistole worked with IFTT but it was cancelled after announcement.
Vibrating device: the Ditto wearable device looks perfect, has a long battery life, and works with IFTT but it's "Sold out" on their website. That makes me think they're a zombie company and the next iOs update might make their app obsolete. Other wearables, such as FitBit, don't seem to vibrate much or at all.
Any ideas? I can code something if needed.
Something like this https://www.olimex.com/Products/ARM/ST/STM32-E407/open-sourc... on the baby monitor side coupled with your own DSP code listening to the speaker could generate the text.
