In a comprehensive security solution, there exists the need to notify the system owner of various important events. However, the system owner eventually will need to sleep, and this represents a prime period for an attacker to execute his exploit. In the case of physical security, is a perpetrator breaks into your home or domicile, it is not always advisable to let the perp know that the system owner has been informed the breach.
Modern day smartphomes use auditory mechanisms to notify the user. These include dings and vibrations (which do emit sounds, though are explicitly meant to send "sound" through non-gaseous media, such as table, water, etc. Smartphones also use camera flash and screen flash mechanisms, though clearly the user must be awake and focused on the visual flash to be informed of the event.
The silentnotify yaml is meant to address the case where the user is sleeping and not paying attention to flashes, and avoids the costly mistake of notifying the perpetrator that the victim has been alerted to the break-in.
This project is a esp32-c6 acting as a Thread edge device which receives events via the Thread network and uses a low-impact vibration or electrical shock to wake the user in a gentle way, typically by using increasing intensities against the users skin. This is a wearable, so has battery, low device (so thread end device), anti-sensor devices which produce user-waling pulses.
