ESP32-S3 Elderly Care Kit: Telegram Photo Alerts with FOMO AI
Instant Telegram Photo Alerts for Elderly Care
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a discreet camera unit that watches over an elderly family member's room and instantly sends a photo to your Telegram whenever a person enters or remains stationary too long. This kit lets you build that exact system - using edge AI on the ESP32-S3, OV2640 camera, and FOMO person detection. From final-year engineering projects to home-care prototypes, the output is a real, deployable alert solution that runs entirely on-device without cloud processing.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a compact, wall-mountable unit that continuously monitors a defined area. When the PIR sensor triggers, the ESP32-S3 wakes the OV2640, runs a lightweight FOMO model to validate a person's presence, then captures and sends a photo via the Telegram Bot API over WiFi. The kit yields a fully functional prototype ready for further customization - perfect for Smart India Hackathon demos or B.Tech major projects in elderly care.
What You'll Learn
- Training and deploying a FOMO person detection model on ESP32-S3 using Edge Impulse
- Integrating OV2640 camera module and PIR sensor for power-efficient visual alerts
- Implementing Telegram Bot API for instant photo messaging over WiFi
- Designing a reliable power supply with buck converter and decoupling capacitors for noise-free operation

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is ideal for B.Tech ECE and EEE students working on IoT-based elderly care projects, Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping real-time alert systems, and researchers at IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS exploring on-device AI. It also suits CBSE Class 12 students with strong electronics and coding backgrounds looking for a standout ATL Tinkering Lab exhibit.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The included AI companion provides instant, context-aware guidance for each step. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for human support if you hit an edge case.
Can I change the sensitivity or detection zone?
Yes - the FOMO model runs on adjustable confidence thresholds and you can refine it with new training data. The PIR's range and envelope are also user-configurable via its onboard potentiometers.
Does this work without an internet connection?
The person detection and image capture run entirely on the ESP32-S3. A WiFi connection is needed only to send the Telegram photo alert; without it, the device still functions locally and can store images for later review.
Will my existing Telegram bot work with this kit?
Absolutely. You just enter your bot token and chat ID into the firmware. The AI companion will walk you through creating a new bot if you don't have one.
