After reviewing our project and thinking about it more, my partner Sarah and I identified a few problems. One was that the loudness sensor might sense another sound, and think it is the doorbell, triggering the LED lights and making the person believe that there is someone at the door. Another is connecting the loudness sensor to the LED lights. Since the person with impaired hearing will constantly be moving around the house, they would need LED lights everywhere, which is inconvenient because then you’ll have little lights running everywhere around the house. Sarah and I considered it, but we don’t know if we can connect two and two through Bluetooth. We also thought that one way to improve our project is by putting a vibration sensor on the door and connect it to the LED lights, just in case people knock instead of ringing.

My partner Sarah and I identified this problem: People who are deaf cannot answer the door because they can’t hear people ringing the doorbell. We explored different methods other people have tried to solve this problem. Some were people connecting their phone to the doorbell, and a video/camera of people at the door. Out of the different choices of the different micro-bits, are materials include a loudness sensor LED lights and maybe a vibration sensor if time lets us. We can put the loudness sensor by the doorbell speaker, which will be connected to the LED lights that will flash when the loudness sensor senses sound (the doorbell).
