Make it useful to you

Get a simple motion notice while monitoring your own workspace.

CAIBI’s proposed addition: Add arming, a quiet period and a visible active indicator; treat it as a convenience experiment.

Start with the original

Tutorial foundation

Tutorial located; parts, current dependencies and physical results have not been tested by CAIBI.

See the original source for its photos and demonstrations. We have not copied imagery without confirmed reuse rights. A source prototype is not a photo of this proposed CAIBI build.

Prompts to move it forward

Copy a prompt into your AI tool with the source material and your actual parts. Work through one small step at a time and check the output before using it. Choose an AI tool or practise the skills first.

Plan the next step
I want to develop this idea: Workshop arrival notifier. Intended outcome: Get a simple motion notice while monitoring your own workspace. The source is https://randomnerdtutorials.com/telegram-esp32-motion-detection-arduino/. CAIBI suggests: Add arming, a quiet period and a visible active indicator; treat it as a convenience experiment. First inspect the source I supply. Separate what it already does from proposed additions. Ask for my actual board, parts, skill level and missing files. Produce a small staged plan with one bench test per stage. Do not invent pin assignments, dimensions or completed test results.

Design a measured enclosure
Help me design a practical enclosure for Workshop arrival notifier. First ask for measured component dimensions, mounting holes, connectors, cable clearance, ventilation and operating conditions. Suggest a printable or off-the-shelf approach. Begin with a fit-test piece before a complete case. Label assumptions and do not invent an enclosure rating.

Check and document the result
Create a test log for Workshop arrival notifier. Intended outcome: Get a simple motion notice while monitoring your own workspace. Separate expected behaviour from observed results. Include power restart, disconnected inputs, communication failure and the actual physical use. Ask me to provide results, firmware versions, changes, photos and unresolved problems. Never mark a test passed without my evidence.
