Welcome to our guide on building a prototype of an automatic water detection system that triggers a countdown. This project uses TensorFlow.js to make the magic happen, enabling real-time processing right in the browser. Let’s dive in!

What You Will Need

• A computer with internet access
• Basic knowledge of JavaScript
• TensorFlow.js library installed in your project
• A camera or sensor capable of detecting water flow

Understanding the Concept

Imagine your washing machine could sense when you accidentally leave the water running. It would be like having a butler who watches over your laundry, ready to remind you that it’s time to turn off the faucet. That’s the core idea behind the WashOS prototype.

This system uses TensorFlow.js to analyze video input from your camera or sensors. When the system detects water running, it triggers a countdown—a gentle reminder to take action.

How to Set Up the Detection System

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

• Step 1: Install TensorFlow.js
  You can include TensorFlow.js in your HTML file by using the following script:

  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tensorflow/tfjs"></script>

• Step 2: Access the Web Camera
  Use the getUserMedia API to access your camera:

  navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true })

• Step 3: Create a Detection Algorithm
  Create a machine learning model that identifies running water. You will train this model with images and label the data appropriately.
• Step 4: Implement the Countdown Feature
  Once water is detected, the system will trigger a countdown:

• Step 5: Connect Everything
  Tie together the camera, detection system, and countdown using JavaScript to complete your project.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while building this system, consider the following troubleshooting ideas:

• Make sure your camera is functioning properly and granted necessary permissions.
• Check that TensorFlow.js is correctly loaded in your environment.
• Ensure that the machine learning model has been trained with appropriate data.
• If the countdown doesn’t start, double-check the code for any logical errors.
