I need a simple device guarding my car in the garage. It should:
- be connected to GSM to data network and communicate over internet and over SMS (in case of alert)
- last as long as possible, because there's not electricity there -_-
- be controllable by a remote switch, as one would expect
Because I didn't found any existing device, I decided to use my expert skill in Scala and lame skills in C(++) and build my own. As OSS, of course.
The project has three parts:
- Garage module - the device existing in the garage
- Server module - server app which handles reports from the garage mmodule
- Remote module - remote handle which toggles "armed" state of garage module
