During my CEIS101 class at Devry University I was tasked with building and coding a home security system prototype. It started with the basic concept of just making a basic LED blink. Throughout the course as we learned more about working with an arduino and the various components we were able to add more functionality to the project. We added the ability to simulate if a door was opened or closed.

Using this same logic I was able to add a state to the system to determine if it was armed or not. If the system was armed, then all security features would work. If the system was disarmed, then the security features would not work. Then I added the ability to detect motion using a sensor. If motion was detected, depending on the distance away it would signal different LED colors and sound the alarm at a slower or faster rate. Lastly during this project I added the ability to check if the room was light or dark, and trigger a signal to turn on or off an LED which symbolized a light bulb.
