Henrietta's Daughter Background Cypress Semiconductor expressed interest in converting the Smarter Life Challenge projects to use the new PSoC4 Prototyping Kit to showcase the rich capabilities of this much lower cost module. The Henrietta Project was…
Why should a thermostat have personality? Thermostats typically are not designed to have personalities, but when I decided to call this project Henrietta (which means "ruler of the home") it naturally followed that I should infuse her with some personality…
The Henrietta Project uses a resistive touch screen for user input. This log details how the touch screen portion of the Henrietta Project was implemented. The touch screen used was a replacement touch screen for a Nintendo DS Lite costing $2.60. The…
The Henrietta Project is a smart thermostat system entered in the PSoC4 Pioneer Kit Smarter Life Challenge. An introductory video that describes the system features and costs has been uploaded. There will be a second video to demonstrate the system. Current…

Objectives
The Smarter Life Challenge was intended to showcase PSoC4 technology and the Henrietta project addresses this requirement, demonstrating the kind of complexity that a…
The Henrietta system is mounted in a picture frame to showcase all of her circuitry. She uses a servo motor to lift the window in front of her picture frame to provide access to the touch pad. The servo feature was included in the project to demonstrate…
This posting presents a video demonstrating remote control of the Henrietta hardware from an android phone via Bluetooth. The android app was programmed using App Inventor, now managed by MIT. To keep operation as simple and intuitive as possible the…
This installment of the Henrietta Project documentation covers operation of the touch pad and the remote PC app which uses Bluetooth to set up and control Henrietta. Actually, pretty much the whole system is shown in operation. In addition to programming…
Speech Recognition This update demonstrates that the Henrietta System can be controlled using voice commands. Speech recognition is not implemented in a practical way here, it is just a quick demo to showcase the possibilities of leveraging the power…
