Bluetooth Beacon proximity gateway

I dedicate this project to my father in law that lost his battle with COVID-19. Thank you Luiz!

When we have creativity, we can do anything!

This project was very special for me, because I did something that could be very useful in this new world. I did this project to try to help people keep away from contaminated things.

We touch in a lot of things that could be contaminated by any kind of virus, using this project we can avoid and track people in a risky environment.

The only thing that was frustrating to me was a issue that I found on my project when I scan BLE devices and try to connect to the AWS using WiFi. I got some strange behavior and had no time debug deeply, I hope I’ll figure out how to do.

I still have some work to do and figure out how to develop a small board to use inside the light switch. I have a daily job and 2 child's, so I only spend my free time on that.

My idea is to transform any light switch to a beacon gateway and help people understand people behavior by analyzing the data produced by the gateway.

Thank you for the opportunity!

This is the first demo for the PSoC 6 contest.

Android app used on this demo.

This project will continue after the contest.

This is the final shield version for AC loads control.

This is the first view of the Arduino shield for AC control.

This could be very dangerous and its not suitable for commercial solutions, only for educational purpose.

Use it by your own risk.

Beacon testing on 2 different commercial devices.

Finally some pictures showing both boards connected!

Next step is testing the AC load!

Removing ESP32 module to connect to Cypress board:

The AC load 1 and 2 will be used to control the AC lamps and the LED D and S to monitor the AC loads on/off state.

This is the fist test on the PSoC6 development kit for the beacon scanning.

The code is available on GitHub.
