So, I have some trouble waking up and going to class, so I thought I might have an Arduino detect that my alarm is going off (I use my iPhone) and then reel up my curtain and (if it is cold) turn on my little portable heater that I keep just for that reason. (When it is cold in the morning I turn it on when I get out of bed)
So, I need some ideas for detecting that my phone alarm is going off. Ideally I would be able to put my phone anywhere on my night stand and be able to detect the alarm. The phone vibrates quite intensely when the alarm is going. I was thinking a about attaching a piezo element to the night stand. You guys think that would work? Anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks,
Grant
