-#TODO
+The system consists in two main components: **ESP32 board** and **HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor**. \\
+  ***ESP32** is the main component and has the following roles:
+    * to establish Wi-Fi connection that will allow to perform HTTP requests;
+    * to send POST requests to the Pushover API to trigger push notifications;
+    * to determine the distance to the floor based on received input from the ultrasonic sensor; \\
+  ***HC-SR04** serves as the proximity sensor and has the following roles: \\
+    * to provide informations about the distance to the floor;

-#TODO
+The code consists of two main functions: **setup** and **loop**. In the setup function, we will set the echo and trigger pins and we will connect to the local Wi-Fi network to perform further HTTP requests. Once the connection is established, in the loop function, we will measure the distance to the floor in centimeters by sending ulstrasonic impulses and if this is less than 2 centimeters, we will perform a POST request to the Pushover API. There will also be a 2s delay between requests to make avoid unnecessary push notifications.
+The source code is listed below:

+#include <WiFi.h>
+#include <HTTPClient.h>
+#define SOUND_SPEED 0.034
+#define CM_TO_INCH 0.393701

+#define PUSHOVER_URL "https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json"

+const char* password = "********";

+        digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
+        // Reads the echoPin, returns the sound wave travel time in microseconds
+        duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
+        // Calculate the distance
+        distanceCm = (duration * SOUND_SPEED) / 2;
+        if (distanceCm < DISTANCE) {

 === 5. Issues and Solutions ===
-#TODO
+This project had some initial issues with getting the source code up on the board, but for some reasons it got fixed once we switched from MacOS to Linux.
+Another problem would be testing this application in a real life case scenario because it won't be that easy to simulate flood home.
