 ====== Challenges ======
-The most challenging thing was to actually take the photo, because it needed a bit of setup to be done and also google script return a redirect link and i had to figure out how to follow the redirect link in order to get the image link. It took me a lot to realise i can just extract the url from the body of the redirect message. Also i first wanted to send the image url through BLE to the main ESP32 and it took me a while to find that BLE and Wi-Fi don't really work simultaneously, because there is interference and communication ordering and stuff. So i had to give that up and find another way, because i really didn't want to connect wires since i was skeptical about how to connect them. So i eventually came up with a web server and then it went smoothly.

-Another big challenge was how to send SMS only once and not every time an "alarm" is triggered. And to achieve what i have now i reached the limit of free sms messages sent in 3 different days. I first tried to keep count of alarms in Thingsboard but it didn't went well and i just figured out that i can manage the alarm stuff locally and just set them off from the cloud and that's what i did, now an alarm triggers once until it's turned off.

I first tried to keep count of alarms in Thingsboard but it didn't went well and i just figured that i can manage the alarm stuff locally and just set them off from the cloud and that's exactly what i did. Now an alarm triggers once until it's turned off.
-And the last challenge was setting the right values for potentiometers and the thresholds set by me.

 There was a lot of trial and error during this project but thankfully nothing was fried :D.
