Next Steps

Going forward, we would like to improve our meter indicator for water consumption to make it more tailorable for the user and more quantitative. Currently, the range is displayed quantitatively, and it meant to record water use after one shower; however, the user may like to keep track of water consumption for longer periods, which would require a larger range of values; additionally, they may like a quantitative representation of consumption along with the qualitative.

Another addition may involve using music within the shower head. Our user indicated that she always listens to music in the shower. This could be one additional aspect that could be integrated into our design.

Reflection

Overall, the entire process went relatively smoothly. There were little challenges that could not be overcome or dealt with. We reached the final product that we set out to reach while also implementing changes based on feedback. We encountered a few challenges at the beginning. We experienced difficulties with running our code as certain naming conventions on the particle website would not work. We solved this problem by changing our variable names to not include words such as ‘time’ and ‘volume’.
