much of the world appears to revolve around sports, as well as sports tracking is a quite huge business. So exactly how do people keep up with their preferred team? Well, [Jackson] as well as [Mourad] made a decision to devise a custom-made IoT solution.
Their system is a bit convoluted, so bear with us. First, they tell Alexa whether or not the team won or lost that week. Alexa then sends that info to IFTTT where two different Particle Argon boards are regularly polling the results to choose exactly how to respond next. One Particle responds by illumination up an LED, eco-friendly for a win as well as red for a loss. one more Particle board screens the results on an LCD screen. however this is where things get tricky. one of the a lot more confusing elements of their style is one of the Particle boards then signals back to IFTTT, telling it to tally the number of wins as well as losses. This seems a bit roundabout considering that the system started with IFTTT in the very first place. Regardless, they seemed to be delighted with the result as well as I’m sure they discovered something in the process.
This job may not meet any type of practical requirement provided that Alexa understands whatever about all our lives already as well as you might just ask her exactly how your preferred team is doing whenever you want to. however hey, we’re all about discovering by doing right here at Hackaday as well as we’re all guilty of building useless jobs right here as well as there just since we can. In any type of case, their job might serve as a great introduction to integrating your Particle with IFTTT or Alexa considering that there appears to be rather a bit of most likely unnecessary handshaking going on here.
