?? HackUTD 2024: Ripple Effect – Introducing ResourceSync ?? This weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in HackUTD 2024, the 2nd largest hackathon in the United States, with over 1,000 participants coming together to innovate and create impactful solutions. This was my third hackathon of the year and my third hackathon ever, making it an unforgettable milestone! Our project, ResourceSync, is a responsive web app designed to empower users to monitor water usage, detect leaks, and promote sustainability. ?? What We Built Frontend: Built using HTML, CSS (Bootstrap), and JavaScript for a responsive and intuitive user experience across all devices. Backend: Powered by Django to handle secure data storage, real-time updates, and seamless API integration. Key Features: Leak Alerts: Real-time notifications to prevent water waste and damage. Chatbot Assistance: Offers water conservation tips and usage guidance. Interactive Dashboard: Displays live water data and historical trends. ??? Future Device Development Although we couldn’t fully implement the hardware component during the hackathon, we conceptualized a smart device using ESP32 for real-time water sensing and a DC motor to automatically shut off water flow in case of leaks. This hardware integration will be a focus for future development to further enhance the solution. ?? Highlights and Lessons Built a responsive app for seamless use on any device. Integrated IoT hardware for real-time monitoring and actionable insights. Implemented a user-friendly chatbot to enhance engagement. Learned to manage real-time data flow, optimize responsive design, and connect IoT systems with web applications. ?? What’s Next for ResourceSync React Integration: Upgrade the frontend for scalability and interactivity. Add water quality monitoring and energy-efficient features. Partner with smart home systems and expand to larger communities. ?? Why ResourceSync Matters Water scarcity is a global challenge, and ResourceSync helps tackle it by enabling users to track, conserve, and optimize water usage. Together, we can make every drop count! ?? Try it out: https://lnkd.in/gTadi26T ??
