IoT button notifies you when laundry is done

The AWS IoT button is a few years old now. This is one of many gadgets I bought before knowing its use. Today it's glued to my washer/dryer and notifies me when my laundry has finished. Just tap once for the washer or twice for the dryer.



The code is very simple. A Lambda function is invoked, which starts a StepFunctions workflow execution. The workflow waits a specified duration of time (37 minutes for my washer, 107 minutes for my dryer) before sending an SNS message. My cell phone is subscribed to the SNS topic.

Code is on GitHub here: https://github.com/dylanrush/iot-washer-notification/tree/master

KSMO and back to KBFI

I successfully made the trip all the way down to Santa Monica (KSMO) and back to Seattle. Rather than journaling in two places, I ended up keeping track of the trip on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dylanhrush/
