alt Hacker NewsOkay, what is "disaster detection"? I'd really prefer my phone not chirp noise over Bluetooth channels if I don't notice and respond to a notification in time.
Would be nice if the readme included the current method to detect disaster and the nature of the "SOS" signal. Is that something Bluetooth has a behaved protocol for, or is it really just chirping?
1. Disaster detection is a user toggle-able option that uses motion sensors to detect extreme shifts. 2. SOS signal is a BLE broadcast along with an alarm-like audio (generated from a sine wave).
+1, I usually have it off, but toggle it on when I'm in a bad setting. It can be made more accurate with time, especially with onboard ML models.
It is a Bluetooth protocol (BLE Scanning and Advertising, if you'd like to learn more about it).
I'll be sure to update the readme. Thank you for the great questions!!
