A project log for Triggy - Sensor Node for Life Automation

A smart sensor Node to trigger an action on a smartphone each time a physical change is detected (temperature, displacement, click...)

Since the decision to create rules directly on the Triggy Hub app, there is a lot of work to do before making everything work. This is a complete new screen to create, and this will take time. The good news: this way of mapping events and actions will improve a lot the usability of the system. Triggering local actions avoids the internet connection requirement while enabling more low-latency automation.

An additional local action I though about is an emulation of a keyboard press. Many applications have hotkeys that can be activated with a physical keyboard. Here we can simply create a rule to emulate any keyboard press. A typical application would be to take a picture from the Android camera app when clicking the triggy module button.
