House of Tea

Do you have weight-sensors? Would you like to hack something cool at #37c3?

How about measuring when the House of Tea's water jerrycans and boilers are empty, to send out toots on the Fediverse, or any other sort of beacon, that the flow3r badge could display by polling at regular intervals?

The House of Tea could thus call for help when hands are needed to help keep the tea flowing! Sort of a "bat-signal" but for tea :)

  • the weight of the jerrycans is in the 1-10kg
  • probably similar or more 5-15kg for the boilers
  • maybe through careful experiments could also work with the weight of the "pre-wash" basin, and call for help with dishwashing! :)
  • we have 2 MQTT relays
  • there was a stub for a House of Tea app somewhere...

Contact us if inspired, or just drop by the House of Tea! <3
