Summary

This project uses a combination of technologies including Python 3.6, AWS IoT button, AWS Lambda function, Twilio SIM card, and Twilio SMS API to create an "Help!" button for children in hot cars. The button is connected to a child's car seat via WiFi hotspot, triggering an AWS Lambda function when pressed, which sends a text message to a designated phone number using the Twilio SMS API. This setup aims to alert someone responsible, such as a parent or neighbor, that a child needs assistance, potentially saving their life in case of an emergency. The project requires setting up a Twilio account, acquiring an unlocked cell phone, configuring AWS IoT and Lambda functions, and testing the system before deploying it in a car seat.
