My grandmother has a life alert necklace which is essentially a wireless panic button. If there's an emergency, she can press it and it will summon emergency responders. It's great, unless you forget to put it on, which she does more often than not. I won't always be here to reminder her. So the purpose of this project is to verbally remind her to put it on before she ever leaves the room.
The Arduino's alarm arms at 8:30 each morning. If she then walks in front of a PIR sensor while it is armed, the Arduino fires a 5V relay that activates a greeting card sound module that says "put your beeper on."
I've read elsewhere that 9V batteries lack adequate amps and shouldn't be relied upon so I intend to move to a wall outlet solution. Even so, it seems as if the 9V is being drained incredibly fast so I'm asking if there's anything else I should be aware of. For one, the super glue I used in the projects housing has been off-gassing for days covering everything in the container with potentially plastic-devouring glue. I wonder if this has compromised the circuit somehow? Here's what I'm working with;
Should this setup be enough to drain a new 9V in a day or two? What improvements should I make? Thanks in advance!
