GOOB - a Smart Alarm Clock

GOOB is an acronym for “Get Out Of Bed”, a well fitting name for my project. I wanted to create a device that can help waking me up in the morning since it isn’t the easiest task. The main idea is that the alarm clock doesn’t stop the alarm before you get out of bed and stay out of bed for more than some minutes. I also wanted to add some other benefits like a night light with wake up function and a wireless charger. So let’s get right to the build !
