I have a Particle Boron and want it turned into a small proof-of-concept that watches two reed switches and a single split-core current transformer. Whenever either switch changes state or the CT reports a reading outside user-defined limits, the Boron should push an SMS straight to my phone. Please build the firmware, wire the sensors, and set up the cellular messaging so the text includes three key pieces of information whenever a condition is met: the live state of each reed switch, the measured current, and a timestamp noting when the limit was crossed. I also need your guidance in deciding the actual thresholds for both the switches and the current transformer, so factor parameter-setting into the workflow. A concise wiring diagram, commented source code ready for Device OS, and a quick start note that shows me where to drop my mobile number will complete the job. Once everything is flashed and tested on your bench, walk me through a power-up test over video so I can see the alerts fire in real time.

I can build your Particle Boron alert prototype with the firmware, sensor wiring, threshold configuration, and cellular SMS workflow you described. I can implement: Monitoring of two reed switches with change-of-state detection. Split-core CT current measurement with configurable upper/lower thresholds. Automatic SMS alerts containing both switch states, live current, and the timestamp of the triggering event. Configurable parameters so thresholds can be adjusted without rewriting the core logic. Reliable cellular communication and appropriate handling of sensor readings and alert conditions. I’ll provide commented Device OS-ready source code, a concise wiring diagram, and a quick-start guide showing exactly where to configure the destination mobile number and thresholds. I’ll also help establish practical initial current limits based on your CT specifications and expected load, then test the triggering logic and walk you through the power-up/alert test remotely. Please share the Particle Boron model/Device OS version, CT model/specifications, reed-switch details, and expected current range. I can then finalize the wiring and measurement approach. Ready to build and test the POC. Jeneifer

Assalam alaikum I understand you need a Particle Boron to monitor two reed switches and a split core current transformer and send an SMS with switch states current value and timestamp when limits are crossed. I will wire the sensors write commented Device OS firmware that reads the switches samples the CT compares to user thresholds and uses the built in cellular to send the formatted SMS. I will provide a clear wiring diagram a quick start guide where you insert your phone number and a video of a live test. I can deliver within three days for $85 AUD Do you prefer pullup or pulldown wiring for the reed contacts? What voltage range does your CT output? Will the device stay on battery or mains power?

The important part of this prototype is getting reliable alerts from both reed switches and the split core CT without noisy readings causing false SMS notifications. I can structure the Boron firmware around clear state change detection, CT threshold monitoring, configurable parameters, and an SMS payload containing both switch states, measured current, and the event timestamp. I’ll also provide the Device OS ready source, concise wiring diagram, and quick start instructions showing exactly where the phone number and thresholds are configured. For the CT, I would first confirm its exact model and output characteristics before defining the current limits. That matters because the correct threshold and measurement method depend on the CT interface and calibration. One practical point: bench flashing and physical sensor testing requires the Boron and sensors to be available to me. If you already have the hardware ready, we can validate the complete alert flow and then do the power up test together over video.

Hi, I can develop the Particle Boron proof of concept with reliable monitoring of both reed switches and the split-core current transformer. I will handle the Device OS firmware, sensor wiring, threshold configuration, and cellular SMS alerts. Each alert can include the live state of both reed switches, the measured current, and an accurate timestamp for the triggered condition. I can also help determine practical current and switch thresholds based on your sensor specifications and expected operating range, with parameters kept easy to adjust later. You will receive commented source code, a concise wiring diagram, setup instructions showing where to configure the mobile number and thresholds, and a clean project ready to flash to the Boron. I can also walk you through the final power-up and alert testing over a video call. I am ready to start and can focus on getting the prototype working reliably within the requested scope.

The challenge here is getting reliable SMS delivery on demand from the Boron, and making sure the firmware handles sensor inputs and cellular comms without blocking. I will wire the two reed switches directly to digital input pins on the Boron, and connect the split-core current transformer to an analog input. The firmware will read the digital pins for switch states and the analog pin for current, using Device OS libraries for both. I’ll implement debouncing for the reed switches in software. For the cellular messaging, I will use the Particle Cloud functions to trigger SMS messages. This approach avoids polling which saves power and processing. I would not use a third-party SMS service that requires constant cloud connection, it's unnecessary complexity and adds a point of failure. Track record on here: 100% on time, 100% on budget, 5.0 across 8 reviews. The brief mentions user-defined limits for the CT but doesn't specify how these should be set or updated. How do you envision those thresholds being managed? I will provide commented source code, a wiring diagram, and configure the Particle Cloud webhook for the SMS alerts. A short call on Freelancer to settle the scope, covering sensor wiring and SMS content.

Hey, Hope you're well. You don’t need another “hardworking freelancer.” You need someone who thinks, solves, and delivers without hand-holding. That’s what I do — firmware development, sensor integration, and messaging solutions. I will turn your Particle Boron into a reliable alert system that monitors reed switches and a current transformer. I will handle the wiring, develop the firmware, and implement cellular messaging to deliver real-time SMS alerts with critical information: the state of each switch, current readings, and timestamps. I’ll also guide you in setting the optimal thresholds for your requirements. Expect a concise wiring diagram, well-commented source code for Device OS, and a quick start guide for your mobile number. Once everything is tested on my bench, I’ll walk you through a power-up test over video to demonstrate the functionality. Check my portfolio for similar projects. Let’s get this done properly the first time. Regards, PixelPrints07

Hi, I can help build this Particle Boron proof-of-concept, including the firmware, sensor handling, threshold configuration, and cellular alert workflow. The system would monitor both reed switches and the split-core CT, detect state changes or current readings outside the configured limits, and send an SMS containing the switch states, measured current, and event timestamp. I’d structure the firmware so the thresholds and phone number are easy to configure without changing the core logic, with clear comments and a concise setup guide. I can also provide the wiring diagram and document the sensor connections and testing procedure. Before starting, I’d like to confirm: * Which Particle Boron model/Device OS version are you using? * What is the CT model and its current measurement range? * Are the reed switches normally-open or normally-closed? * Which cellular region/carrier will the Boron use? Once I have the hardware details, I can define the wiring, calibration approach, firmware structure, and testing steps clearly.
