Granny checking box helps Raspberry Pi fan keep an eye on his grandmother

Not as creepy as it sounds!

James Zingel from New Zealand noticed his mother’s concern for his grandmother’s well-being. So, with a Raspberry Pi he was given, he set about constructing a monitoring device. The box, called Gran Check, has a PIR sensor set into the front which detects his gran’s movement when she feeds her dogs every morning then takes a picture and sends it to his parents. It’s a lovely project by a very caring grandson! Read more on the Raspberry Pi blog and on the Bay of Plenty Times site.
