Turning a Google Nest Camera into a Kitchen Clean-Up Enforcer—Need Help!

How To

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a fun project and could use some guidance. We have a bit of an issue in our shared house (about 10 people) with dishes and kitchen organization. I want to set up a Google Nest camera in the kitchen to monitor who uses the space and, more importantly, who doesn’t clean up after themselves.

Here’s what I’m trying to accomplish:

  1. Detect Movement: The Google Nest camera should detect when someone is in the kitchen.
  2. Send Notifications: If the camera detects that someone enters the kitchen but doesn’t clean up, I’d like to send a notification to our house group (probably via WhatsApp or email).
  3. Recognition: Ideally, I would like to identify the person using facial recognition and then personalize the notification.

I’m relatively new to automation and programming, so I’d appreciate detailed steps or pointers on how to set this up using Make.com.

Currently there arent any modules that can connect google nest. But here are some places where Make can help.

  • Have images be analyzed using the OpenAI app.
  • Sending over text using twillio or WhatsApp.
  • Keeping a record of housemates and thier transgressions using Google sheets or some other database.

Hope this helps!
