Schematics

Circuit diagram for bitcoin alert system

The circuit is a part of the alerting system, the bolt wifi module is connected to the bolt cloud and the anode of the led is in series combination with a 16kohm resistor and they are connected to the gpio 0 pin and negative pin of the led is connected to ground pin of module whereas the positive pin of piezo-buzzer is connected to gpio pin 1 and its negative pin is connected to ground pin of module. When the bitcoin market price is greater than the specified price the buzzer beeps and , when the market price is lesser than specified then the led glows and corresponding messages and mails are sent in both cases to the user's phone, alarming the necessary details.

Code

bitcoin_alert_main_source_code

Python
So this the the maincode which first lets user chose his/her country currency then asks him/her or his specified selling price. Then it searches the web for current bitcoin market value according to his/her chosen currency then it prints the current market value and selling price on screen then it checks the following conditions :
(i) if current market price bitcoin is less than of selling price
(ii) if current market price bitcoin is greater than of selling price
then it gives corresponding message and mail alert in both cases and led and buzzer turns on respectively.

conf.py

Python
It is the file containing the configurations which when imported in main code file, provides user's data.
SSID = "Write your twillio SSID here" #generated when you have created your twillio account"
AUTH_TOKEN = "write your twillio auth_token here"#you can access it from your twillio account dashboard
FROM_NUMBER = "This is the number generated by twillio"
TO_NUMBER = "This is your personal mobile number"#must add +91 in the beginning 

MAIL_API = "This is your mailgun account API"
SANDBOX_URL = "This is the sandbox url you have got in your dashboarrd"
SENDER_MAIL = "This is test@your_sandbox_url"
RECEIVER_MAIL = "This is your e-mail id"

BOLT_API = "This your bolt api key"
DEVICE_ID = "This your bolt device id like BOLTXXXXXXXX"
