Software apps and online services

Pushetta

For Push Notifications on mobile.

Story

A basic Raspberry Pi Project. Someone's at your front door waiting for you to open up. Unfortunately, you aren't home. But, no worries. You've got yourself covered. Whether it is a courier guy, some guy with a malicious intent or just your neighbor, the Smart Doorbell will sense it and send a picture of that person to your mail/phone !

Many future applications are possible based on this and I am still to develop this whole project. So look out this space while it gets updated.

What code does till now ?

Senses for human presence, detects and captures an image, sends push notification on your mobile app (Pushetta), an email with the photo attached and a Google Drive Storage Integration, which stores images with timestamps for you to monitor at ease.

Just a Random Picture.

So lets start,

First, we have to install Raspbian OS on our Raspberry Pi. Here, I have taken a version 3 of Pi and you can do this with any version. It wouldn't make much difference. I would highly recommend going to the circuitbasics site for step by step instructions

Code

Python Script

from gpiozero import MotionSensor
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.image import MIMEImage
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart

pir = MotionSensor(4)
while True:
    if pir.motion_detected:
        print("Intruder detected!")
	time.sleep(0.5)
	count = count + 1
       	if count >= 10:
                print('Photo Captures now. Smile :) ')
                time.sleep(2)
		        os.system("fswebcam -S20 -r 960x720 --no-banner /home/pi/Drive/photo_%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S.jpg")
	            os.system("fswebcam -S20 -r 960x720 --no-banner /home/pi/photo.jpg")

                print('Music Plays')

                pygame.mixer.music.load("doorbell.mp3")
                pygame.mixer.music.play()
                while pygame.mixer.music.get_busy() == True:
                       continue

                p=Pushetta(API_KEY)
                p.pushMessage(CHANNEL_NAME, "Yo !")

                msg = MIMEMultipart()
                
                img_data = open('/home/pi/photo.jpg', 'rb').read()
                
                msg['Subject'] = 'Smart Doorbell'
                username = 'ajmeraumang96@gmail.com' //From Address emailID
		        password = '########' //From Address password

		        text = MIMEText("Someones at your door")
                msg.attach(text)
                image = MIMEImage(img_data, name=os.path.basename('/home/pi/photo.jpg'))
                msg.attach(image)

		server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
		server.starttls()
		server.login(username,password)
		server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg.as_string())
		server.quit()
		print('Mail Sent')
		time.sleep(3)

		print('Now Pushing images to google drive')
		os.chdir("/home/pi/Drive")
		os.system("gdrive push -quiet")  //Install gdrive separately
        print('Sync Complete')
		time.sleep(5)
                
    else:
		print("No Intruder ")
		count = 0
