When four random people met at Kent Hack Enough Friday night, it did not take long for the collective group to meet the consensus to build a home security hardware hack. This hack utilizes temperature, humidity, flame, and water sensors, which wirelessly transmitts data to an online server hub utilizing asp.net. From this location, signals are sent to an android app which alerts the user if there is a flame or floodi in the home, which forces the phone to emmitt audible tones, as well as warning labels, no matter where the phone is, in relation to the home sensors. Further, the app allows for the user to request information relating to the home's temperature and humidity utilizing the same server. In extension, our hack can control devices throughout the home. For instance, we have specifically synced an outlet to our hack, which controls a lamp. We could control almost any home device to this system as well.

Our hack is eligible for both Internet of Thing categories as well as the data representation category.
