Outcome: 

Connected distance is an uncomplicated and value-added device that works on two levels. The first part of it is the PIR motion sensor that detects your presence in the room, lights up the led and sends out a message via IFTTT to your partner. The second part of it is controlled remotely by your partner. The servo can be manipulated to two positions [multiple positions can be added. Also, IFTTT allows only 100 messages per month :( ], via text messaging. If your partner is at #school, they can simply send out a message to IFTTT as #school, this will rotate the servo to an angle of 180 °. Similarly, when ones location is #work, the servo rotates to an angle of 90 ° (this is a desired value and is subject to change as per input).
