What ?

From a informal meeting on saturday evening front of few beers we decide to do a IOT challenge. We came with the idea to do a pomodoro timer.

With what ?

I decide to choose the hardware for it. It will be base on some standard ESP-2866 (can be program like an arduino but with wifi built in).

I choose from a chinese website a copy of the Esp8266 Witty, because there is already some sensors and leds built in.

• light sensor
• button
• led
• RGB led

Then to display easily the remaning time I choose a NeoPixel Ring module with 24 rgb leds.

Next steps ?

1. Write specs for standalone mode
2. Write specs for connected mode
3. Wait until the hardware arrived from china
4. Learn and try with the hardware
