Wattwise
About
Wattwise was a project that was made for a potential client case. It is to bring awareness to energy consumption in the Netherlands. I mainly did development and some asset creation for this project
Smart Plug
In this project, we needed to connect a smart plug to the Unity project to have authentic energy tracking in the application. After doing some research, I first tried using a raspberry pi to pick up the data from the smart plug. However, upon further research I found red node and using that I was able to access the information and parse it up to the unity project.
It has been set to spawn when the user buys an item. I made a class that has the properties of the objects, which makes it all easier to reference.
Using a small state machine, I was able to make the objects in the shop have three stages of information.
Energy Tax was for showing the user if the custom room they made in the application was energy efficient or not and I gave the objects an amount that it taxes based off of its state and used that all to give the user feedback for knowing if they were doing good for not
