An android things motion sensor slackbot and a companion android application

SlideIt

An Android Things motion sensor that takes a picture of someone going down the San Francisco slide and sends the image to a specified slack channel.

It is built with firebase realtime database, storage, cloud functions, and ML Kit facial recognition. Includes an Android mobile app connected to firebase to arm and disarm the bot as well as view recently uploaded photos.

Workflow

1. Motion sensor detects a person going down the slide in our SF office.
2. Image is taken
3. Firebase ML Kit determines if it was a person with facial recognition
4. If it was a person, it uploads the image to firebase realtime database
5. Firebase cloud functions hook for when an image is uploaded to the Firebase realtime database
6. Cloud function sends slack message with the image to a specified channel

Deploy cloud functions

From the cloud-functions/functions directory, you can run

firebase deploy --project [project-id] --only functions
