Notify: Multi-Purpose Sensor Design Blind

Hello, this is my basic design for the Notify sensor. The front screen is the cloth material same as a google home, which allows for minimal sensor obstruction. It can be replaced with a translucent plastic as well. I need more content for for your exact requirement. Please message me if this is something you're looking for or if any changes you want in the design. Thank you

#3 Concept 3 - adjusting for more contemporary design by Decker

Download Files

Here is my last entry to your contest as an example of contemporary design. I have no idea without having a conversation, what the design intent really needs to be and how a user of this device will intend to use it. Hope you enjoy the entries and hope you end up finding what your looking for.
Regards, Jamie

#2 Concept 2 - Ready for Design Review by Decker

Download Files

I prepared a second entry into your contest. This example I tried my best to work with the constraints of the board design layout which dictated approximate location for the sensors. I did change the type of USB connection I assume for charging and placed it on the side edge of the board. I am a designer fully capable of adding customer intent and additional detail needed for standoffs, snaps, draft, and fasteners for the internal design. Consider hiring me and we can explore those options together. Thanks!

#1 Concept for input - sensor case by Decker

Autodesk Inventor 2018 — sensor case

I was wondering if you looking for designers to aid in the selection of the sensor array your determining or whether you have already selected the size and types of sensors already? I did notice that it was not specified what side of the device you wish to position the senors? Can they be on the back and front? Another observation is maybe you want to accentuate how the senors are displayed? I assume case size maybe a factor you may want to specify as well. Anyway, I have attached a simple image and step file for my attempt. I would like more input from the customer maybe even dimensions for the electronics that go inside.

Hi Ankit I don't have a CAD design. Sorry!

Hi Aldrinc!
Can you attach CAD model of PCB? (If possible)

We cannot cover the EMI, Thermal, and RGB sensors with a cloth as then they cannot function.

1. It is to provide the power on/off button? On PCB I see "reset" and "boot" ;
- Boot is the power on/off. Reset is to reset the device to factory.

2. Please specify the power and debug LEDs location on PCB;
- You can place them where you want and we will modify the case design to match - I do not want them in front of the device however because it will be obtrusive and this device needs to be out of mind.

3. Does the PIR sensor require a specific fringed lens or sufficient thin PE plastic lenses?
- Thin PE lens works

4. Can the EMI, Thermo Cam and RGB sensors be covered the same thin lens as the PIR sensor?
- No - the EMI thermo and RGB cannot be covered by PE lens

5. Does the case must have AC in and AC outlet connectors?
- I am moving to USB-C instead of AC outlet connectors so design with a female USB-C port (like bottom of iPhone) in mind.

7. Is the device used only in the wall plugged position?
- This device should have a mount so that it can be used in other positions.

8. Pleas specify EMI senosrs model, I need his dimensions.
- See the sensor V2 document attached which has sensor specifications.

Hello,
I want to participate in this competition and have a few questions about Notify's design:

1. It is to provide the power on/off button? On PCB I see "reset" and "boot" ;
2. Please specify the power and debug LEDs location on PCB;
3. Does the PIR sensor require a specific fringed lens or sufficient thin PE plastic lenses?
4. Can the EMI, Thermo Cam and RGB sensors be covered the same thin lens as the PIR sensor?
5. Does the case must have AC in and AC outlet connectors?
7. Is the device used only in the wall plugged position?

1. Where's the thermal camera sensor located? Is it on separate module?
- the Thermal camera is located on the board - I am open to recommended placement on the board.
2. Is it powered by battery or A/C inlet?
AC Outlet
3. If powered by battery, what type and size?
N/A since its AC outlet

POWER, TX, RX etc (red on PCB), are these LEDs?
If so, do they need to be visible?
If not, are there any LEDs that need to be visible indicating on/off or other conditions?

Hey there, Can you specify the Thickness of the PCB so that the mounts it fits snug in the enclosure.If you can, please provide the Dimension constraints for the enclosure. The Placement position and the dimensions of the sensors, on the enclosure would be a lot appreciated.
