Although Touch is focused on home appliances, the module is not limited to its placement. Touch is meant to be a standardized use of convenience for its users.
So people can buy many of them and truly enjoy the experience at their home
Allows users easy access to many nodes without the worry of having to constantly replace them.
Touch does not require the user to be in range of the nodes. An internet enabled router handles all communication to and from nodes through an 802.15.4 network so the user can control the nodes no matter where they are.
Touch is the most portable and adaptive to different types of switches. All our nodes are able to support most buttons and switches since we can integrate different kind of mechanical pistons.
Touch nodes cost only $18 each since we are not relying BLE and LiPo batteries. In future iterations, we will rely on off the shelf batteries the users will have to replace individually.
ATmega128RFA1 with 1200mAh Lithium Ion battery
Battery life of upto 3 months.
Battery life of upto a week.
WiFi enabled with Raspberry Pi 2B+ and an ATmega128RFA1 MCU.
4 different headers designed for a variety of switches.
Headers can easily be attached to the nodes without the use of any tools.
