Meet Splashflag: Bert Wagner's Innovative IoT Device for Pool Management
Bert Wagner has developed an innovative IoT device, the Splashflag, designed to manage pool activities. This USB-powered gadget connects to Wi-Fi via an ESP32-S3 module and communicates with an MQTT broker for real-time notifications through a web app.
The Splashflag device is housed in a 3D-printed case, featuring a 2×16 LCD screen and a servo-mounted flag for visual cues. It connects to an MQTT broker hosted by Bert Wagner on his home server, running mosquitto, and exposed via WebSockets to the web app he created.
The device's reset button serves a dual purpose. A long press factory-resets the Splashflag, allowing it to connect to a different Wi-Fi network. Meanwhile, a quick press clears any active notifications, ensuring the device remains responsive and up-to-date.
The Splashflag, created by Bert Wagner, is a practical IoT solution for pool activity coordination. By leveraging Wi-Fi, MQTT, and a user-friendly web app, it offers real-time notifications and customizable network connectivity. Its compact design and USB power source make it an accessible addition to any poolside setup.
