ESP8266 or ESP32 - Momentary IOT Switch - Idea

thingiverse

This idea is for a momentary IOT ( Internet of the things ) with something like home assistant, MQTT, HTTP, Google Docs, etc, and so on. -Goal is to see if people are interested in the idea before continuing to develop and print and testing a bunch. Design -Weight with pennies enough so that it raises the lever when the item is removed and to close a switch. How I planned on using it? -For use with for things like the scoop to feed my dog as it could be me or my wife that feeds him. -To monitor when medication was taken. Why momentary? -I wanted to have it on battery and not die every so long, so the item would be picked up connecting the power to the esp8266 or what have you. Once that has ran, it would enter deep sleep. Better/Deeper sleep if you remove the LED. Circuit -Yea, that will be up to you bright minds, I'd like to have someone design what is needed, the concerns is how long the action might be may not be long enough for the WIFI to connect and complete its action, especially if someone puts an inhaler ( or something that is relatively quick to complete in a few seconds ), maybe it can run on caps so it has so much time. Low battery light would be snazzy. Side Note -If i could have made a rack and pinion setup I might have done that, maybe later.
