[TVARC] Ideas for monitoring our neighborhood AED?

[rick at kd9my.com]

George,

Just a thought..   how about placing a Meshtastic node at the AED.

You could wire a tamper/door switch to one of the spare GPIO pins.

When the switch triggers, it could send out a pre canned message like "AED 3
open"

Might even want to put it on it's own channel/network.

The concept would work (I'm not smart enough to make it happen).

 

Thanks,

Rick KD9MY

Fellow TVARCers,

Our neighborhood (Eleanor courtyard villas) has an AED mounted on the wall
of the overflow parking area.

A member of the AED committee came to me (no doubt thinking that a ham would
know EVERYTHING) to see if

I had any ideas about how to monitor the device to keep it out of the wrong
hands.

Well, THIS ham freely admits that HE doesn't know EVERYTHING, so I am
reaching out to TVARC for any ideas.

One hint that the committee member gave me is that they do not want to
involve the Internet.  Somewhat limiting,

I know.

So, if any of you has an idea, please let me know.

Thanks and 73,

George K2DM
