The primary objective of this device is to promote physical activity and the adoption of healthier habits. Unlike smartwatch notifications, it initiates actions that can only be deactivated by scanning NFC cards. Pressing the green button initiates a 60-second countdown, transforming the 4-digit clock into a red countdown display, while activating a red light and fan, and turning off a salt lamp. Scanning an NFC card within the countdown terminates the timer, deactivating the fan, and switches the light to green while turning back on the salt lamp. If no NFC device is scanned within a minute, an embedded speaker emits alert sounds. The 4-digit display is only visible after the button is pressed, and pressing it again re-sets the timer, but will not silence the alarm. Each time an NFC is read, the timer is temporarily suspended and a NeoPixel turns from red to green and back to red, when it is ready for the next scan, enabling multiple scans without incurring time penalties. This is synchronized with an OLED display with a unique animation for each card. An entire group could sequentially scan cards during a one minute countdown. There is no kill switch once the button is pressed.
NFC Stand Up
No more ignoring those "movement" notifications. Unlike smartwatch notifications, this alarm can only be physically deactivated with NFC.
