Home Security Starter with Android Things and Firebase
summary
An Android Things project on a Raspberry Pi 3 reads a BLE open/close sensor and writes state to Firebase Realtime Database; Cloud Functions and FCM send push alerts. The system mutes false positives using phone-based geofencing, triggers IR-controlled lights via Nature Remo API from database writes, and reports ~5s end-to-end door alerts; camera integration was abandoned because USB webcams don’t work on Android Things.
