Final Project

Project Overview:

The Smart Entry Organizer is an interactive device designed to help users keep track of essential everyday items such as keys, phone, and wallet. Placed near the home entrance, it combines physical organization with embedded intelligence to support daily routines.

Concept:

The project explores how technology can quietly assist users without adding extra screens or complex interaction. Dedicated compartments and hooks guide where items should be placed, while the system monitors their presence automatically.

Interaction:

When the user enters home, the device detects their arrival through wireless communication with their phone. Embedded sensors check each compartment and provide immediate feedback:

• Green light indicates the item is in place.
• Red light reminds the user of missing belongings.

Technical Implementation:

The system integrates a custom-designed PCB, embedded programming, wireless communication, sensors, and digitally fabricated structure into a single smart object. The organizer transforms a simple storage unit into an intelligent assistant that encourages organization habits.

Reflection:

This project represents the intersection between hardware and software, demonstrating how digital fabrication and embedded systems can create meaningful everyday interactions.
