Minduthings: Arduino - based tools to alert and tracking lost items / Nik Nor Qurratu' Aini Mohamad Arifin

The issues of lost or misplaced valuable items can happen to everyone, it will be difficult to trace or recall where the items are misplaced. This project aims to develop a tracking system that uses Arduino as an IoT Technology to track the location in a mobile platform using GPS to track the location’s items. This project also helps the user to track their lost item in the community surrounding. The objectives of this project are to identify the user requirement to design and develop SaveUThings: Arduino - Based tools to track and alert the lost items. This system is developed via IoT with NodeMCU V3 ESP8266 Lolin, Neo6M GPS module, jumper wire, power supply, and mobile application. The methodology developed for this project is up till the testing phase only. The system was developed using IoT NodeMCU ESP8266 as a microcontroller. SaveUThings mobile application will help the user by providing features such as user authentication, GPS, push notifications, update current location, and store location history. The project provides an application that allows for real-time in collecting latitude and longitude of the place and alerts the user. The significance of SaveUThings: Arduino - Based tools to alert and track the lost items, while can also be used by the IoT developer who wants to develop this system into the market by providing the smart device technology for anti-theft technologies. For future work, it is proposed to enhance the tracking features and develop an IoT platform.
