Dog Monitor

Dog Monitor is a prototype sensor that detects when the dog barks, and notifies the owner via SMS text message. It also notifies on temperature and CO (carbon monoxide).

This monitor was based on Tahar's Baby Monitor prototype (tzano on Github)

The current version is a working prototype, which showcases the main ideas. The main design goal is not re-inventing Baby Monitor, but to illustrate how to build the sensor using Arduino.
