I'd like to setup a sensor to ping me if my dog's barking, but only seem to find collars that go on the dog which I assume measure sound and vibration. Any ideas are most appreciated.
Sounds like a job for the cloud shield: attach a microphone to an analog input, and over a certain value covert to a digital output.
Of course, figuring out the difference between a dog bark, a truck going by, a phone ringing etc. is left for an exercise for the reader... but I'm sure someone else has solved this before.
