Technical requirements
The only hardware requirement for this chapter is the ESP32-S3 Box Lite. We will develop the entire project on this devkit without any additional sensor hardware since the devkit already has two microphones integrated into the box.
On the software side, we will use mobile applications and online platforms to implement the project. They are:
- ESP RainMaker platform: The cloud platform of the project.
- ESP RainMaker mobile application: The companion application that comes with the RainMaker platform to add devices and manage them in the platform. It is available for both Android and iOS.
- Amazon Alexa: The mobile application by Amazon to control and monitor Alexa-enabled devices. It is available for both Android and iOS.
- Edge Impulse: The platform to generate the ML model for detecting baby cries.
