Summary
Shower With Friends`, a team of five developers, created an app that uses Twilio's SMS API and an Intel Galileo Gen 2 Board to monitor water consumption habits and send motivational texts. The app aims to encourage users to save water by competing with themselves and others. This project leverages the Internet of Things to make everyday devices controllable and programmable, sparking civic and environmental change. It is one of the first examples of a company or group of developers using this technology to drive positive impact.
