I’m not sure if Configuration is the right topic, but I couldn’t find any that was better.
What I’m after is a way to let my family register when they take our dog for a walk. I’m already planning on a limited control panel by the entrance door, so having a way to just press a button and an entry would be made in a database somewhere would be enough…
Has anyone made something like this? For our family it would be a panel of 4 buttons with the header of “Register walk” and buttons “Dad”, “Mom”, “Child1”, “Child2” or something…
If you attach a BLE sensor on the leash then an ESP32 could notice it being out of range (out for a walk).
And whatever phone drops off from the wifi is probably the one talking the walk.
That is how I would do it. At least give it a try.
But sure. Buttons is “safer” if everyone remembers to press them.
