This is the next phase in the PiRoom project. I glossed over this earlier, so I’ll expand on the idea of natural alarm. A natural or light-up alarm clock basically simulates how the sun rises to mess with the hormones in our body to give a more relaxed wakeup.
While these things cost around $150, I thought I might as well make my own (as I already have the LED framework made).
As GALE is still being made, I’ll have to make a system that isn’t based off of user sound input. Instead, I’m going to use Google Calendar. The goal is to have a calendar of all of the wake-up times, and use that information to remotely control the Pi and in turn, the alarm clock.
I’m still trying to work out the API (google is brutal with the process), and I’ll keep posting updates.
