#SMART ALARM CLOCK INSTALL#
The setup process is done through the Google Home app, so thankfully there is not yet another app to install specifically for this clock. This can be enabled by saying, “hey Google, turn on the night light.” Setup The Qi charging base also has a simple LED night light that glows around the base of the alarm clock. There is a mute switch for the microphone located on the back of the unit. There is no camera on the device, providing a bit of peace of mind when placing it in the bedroom. This way, you can wirelessly charge your smartphone beside the Smart Alarm Clock. This particular model includes a wireless charging base that you can set the clock on top of to provide power to the wireless Qi charging pad on the base. Using smaller screws does slightly reduce the stability of the box however.The Lenovo Smart Alarm Clock 2 features a fabric exterior with a 4-inch display on the front. You can skip 3 and 4 if you use smaller screws (I used 12 mm screws). Assemble the box by screwing all the outsides together (except the top). Screw or glue everything where you want it.ġ1. Attach a magnet on the inside of the front and a small metal plate on the inside of the topside.ġ0. Attach some hinges on the outside of the box, connecting the top and backside.ĩ. Measure every component that you want to show on the outside and draw appropriately sized shapes on the multiplex.Ĩ. Decide where you want to make the appropriate holes for the LCD-screen, 4*7 segment display, loudspeaker, luminoscity sensor, RGB LED, rotary encoder and button.Ħ. Screw the small planks to the insides (bottom, front and back) of the multiplex as seen in the photos.ĥ. Get some spare wood and make small planks of 20 mm high and 20 mm wide.Ĥ. Saw and sand each shape square and rectangleģ. Top and bottom: 2 x rectangle (180 mm x 300 mm)įront and back: 2 x rectangle (170 mm x 300 mm)Ģ. Draw the following shapes on the multiplex panel: I you want to make something similar, these are the steps for said box:ġ. You can make the outside of the alarm clock however you like! I made a box for my alarm clock with a multiplex wood panel with a width of 5 mm. 1 x multiplex wood panel (I used one with the following measurements which was more than enough: 860mm x 860mm x 5mm) Various jumper wire cables (male to male and male to female) 7 x resistors (2 x 10k Ohm, 4 x 1k Ohm, 1 x 470 Ohm) 1 x GPIO 40 pin expansion board and rainbow cable 1 x (empty) microSD card and adapter (I have a 16GB card, but 8GB is enough)
#SMART ALARM CLOCK PDF#
Underneath you can find a pdf with more detailed info on the components. I made a list of the most important components. So, first things first, let’s make sure we have everything we need before we start building. If you want to know more about me and other projects I made or will make, check out my portfolio.
If you’d like to make this device yourself and get a decent sleeping routine like me, then check out this handy guide I wrote below. Since the requirements for this assignment dictated that we should use a Raspberry Pi to run everything on, I decided to call my device “Sleepi” as a pun. I found it rather difficult to find a project and when I tried to search for a fitting project, I often thought: “I’m too tired for this.” So eventually I realized that this could be my project: I would make a smart alarm clock that would both help me get up in the morning and help me get to bed in time in the evening.
We were encouraged to make something that would make a difference in either our own lives or in the lives of people we know. Hello, my name is Alexandra Christiaens and I study Media and communication Technology at Howest in Kortrijk, Belgium.Īs a school assignment, we were required to make an IoT device.
