Schluff - The Sleep Monitor
Find the ideal conditions for a good nights rest
by Michael Sklar
Schluff is a yiddish word which means to take a short nap. This project is about finding the ideal environment for quality sleep by monitoring different conditions and biometric data. Ideally the data from this device would be overlayed with a wrist based fitness tracker for additional revelations. Schluff records the following: temperature, humidity, light, noise and heart rate. The collected data is sent from a Feather 32u4 (Arduino compatible) over to an iOS device or macOS laptop using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). The BLE catchers can save the data locally or relay it up to adafruit.io for storage and graphing.
Adafruit IO Basics: ESP8266 + Arduino
Get your project online fast with ESP8266, Arduino, & Adafruit IO!
by Todd Treece

Remote controlled door lock using a fingerprint sensor & Adafruit IO
Open a door lock from anywhere by simply using your fingerprint!
by M. Schwartz
In this project, you will learn how to control a door lock remotely, simply by using your fingerprint. Because we'll be using Adafruit IO, the fingerprint sensor & the lock can be in completely different places.
Using Zapier with Adafruit IO
Connect your IO account to a wide range of services and APIs with Zapier.

Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout
Adorable bite-sized WiFi microcontroller, at a price you like!
by lady ada
Add Internet to your next project with an adorable, bite-sized WiFi microcontroller, at a price you like! The ESP8266 processor from Espressif is an 80 MHz microcontroller with a full WiFi front-end (both as client and access point) and TCP/IP stack with DNS support as well. While this chip has been very popular, its also been very difficult to use. Most of the low cost modules are not breadboard friendly, don't have an onboard 250mA 3.3V regulator or level shifting, and aren't CE or FCC emitter certified....UNTIL NOW!
