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.

Hi, I can handle this Particle Boron project end-to-end. I’ll integrate the two reed switches and split-core CT, develop the Device OS firmware, configure cellular SMS alerts, and include the switch states, measured current, and timestamp in each alert. I’ll also define the CT calibration and user-adjustable thresholds, provide a clear wiring diagram and commented source code, and document the flashing/setup process. I can test the logic on the bench and guide you through the final power-up test. I have experience with ESP32, STM32, nRF and other embedded platforms, including sensor integration, ADC/current measurement, wireless communication and firmware development. Please share the Boron model, CT part/rating, and expected current range so I can finalize the approach and estimate the exact timeline.

Hi, I can build the Boron prototype end-to-end: firmware, sensor wiring, threshold logic, and SMS alert workflow. My approach would be: 1. Confirm the exact reed switch behavior and the current transformer model/range 2. Define the alert thresholds and debounce/filtering rules 3. Implement the Device OS firmware for state monitoring and event detection 4. Send SMS with switch states, measured current, and timestamp 5. Provide a concise wiring diagram and a commented source package 6. Verify the system on bench and review the power-up test procedure with you To make the thresholds reliable, I would first need: - Reed switch type and normal/open state expectation - CT part number, burden arrangement, and expected current range - Whether SMS should be sent through a cloud service/API or another gateway - Your target mobile number format for the message setup I can keep the deliverable compact and practical so you have a working proof of concept quickly.

Hi, I can help build this Particle Boron proof-of-concept, including the sensor wiring, Device OS firmware, cellular SMS functionality, threshold configuration, and testing workflow. I can also structure the firmware so the key parameters are easy to modify rather than hard-coded throughout the program. For the CT, I’ll help determine appropriate upper/lower limits based on the expected normal operating current and sensor specifications. For the reed switches, we can define the expected normal states and debounce behavior to prevent false alerts from contact bounce. I’ll pay particular attention to reliable reed-switch debouncing, CT calibration/scaling, threshold handling, timestamps, and cellular connectivity so the POC behaves predictably rather than generating nuisance alerts. Please provide the exact Particle Boron model, Device OS version, reed-switch specifications, CT model/ratio, and expected current range. Once I have those details, I can confirm the wiring and implementation approach and get started. Best regards, Bharti

Hi, New on Freelancer — 20 years of development experience behind us. We're taking our first few projects here at a fraction of our normal rate purely to build our review history. You get senior agency work at junior pricing; we get a review. Straight trade. To effectively monitor your Particle Boron setup, ensuring precise timing between the reed switches and the current transformer is crucial. I would start by configuring the microcontroller to handle state changes efficiently, minimizing latency. Could you share any existing firmware or code you have, so I can assess and optimize it?

Hello, I can build the Particle Boron proof-of-concept with reliable sensor monitoring and cellular SMS alerts. I can handle: • Two reed-switch inputs with proper pull-up/pull-down configuration and debouncing • Split-core CT integration with suitable signal conditioning and calibration • Configurable current thresholds and alert parameters • Alerts when either reed switch changes state or current crosses a limit • SMS containing both reed states, measured current and event timestamp • Commented Particle Device OS firmware • Clear wiring diagram and quick-start documentation • Destination phone-number configuration • Bench testing and a live power-up demonstration For the CT, I’ll first confirm its exact model and output type so the interface and calibration are correct. I’ll establish sensible initial thresholds from your expected normal operating range while keeping them configurable. The firmware will be modular, with separate sensor, measurement, threshold, alert and cellular logic. I’ll also use debouncing, filtering and hysteresis where appropriate to reduce false readings and repeated SMS alerts. I’m ready to start once you provide the Boron/CT details, expected current range and sensor wiring information. Best regards, Juan

I propose a staged implementation covering hardware validation, firmware development, cellular messaging, and field calibration. I will verify the reed-switch input type and wire each switch using appropriate pull-up/pull-down, filtering, protection, and debounce. The current transformer interface will be checked for its ratio, burden resistor, input range, isolation, and safe ADC biasing. The firmware will continuously monitor each reed switch and calculate calibrated RMS current. Configurable parameters will include switch logic/polarity, debounce time, current alarm and reset thresholds, hysteresis, persistence delay, and messaging cooldown. When a condition is confirmed, the device will send a timestamped text containing the live state of every reed switch, the measured current with units, and the time the threshold was crossed. It will also prevent duplicate alerts, support recovery messages, retry failed transmissions, and preserve queued events during network outages. Thresholds will be established through commissioning rather than guesswork: record normal and abnormal switch behavior, measure baseline, startup, and fault currents under representative loads, then select limits with adequate noise margin and validate them through controlled tests. Final acceptance will include sensor-state verification, current calibration against a reference meter, full-load alarm testing, power-loss recovery, poor-signal testing. Regards Ignatius
