Smart Clock Helps With Medication Management

Maker hvermaak.projects developed the Ouma Ria Smart Clock, a custom-built device featuring medication reminders, motion sensing, and automated scheduling to assist with daily household management and personal tasks.

Key Points

  • The device is powered by an ESP32-WROOM-32 microcontroller and four 8×8 WS2812B addressable LED panels.
  • Integrated hardware includes a DS3231 real-time clock, a BH1750 ambient light sensor, and a DFPlayer Mini for audio alerts.
  • AM312 passive infrared sensors enable the clock to function as a basic security monitor for the home.
  • Users can manage schedules and device settings through a custom-built web interface.

Why it Matters

This project demonstrates how hobbyists can leverage affordable microcontrollers and modular sensors to create personalized assistive technology. Such custom builds highlight the growing potential for DIY smart home solutions to address specific accessibility and organizational needs that mass-market products may overlook.
