Invalid values caused by the tea kettle #2

Open superosku opened 8 years ago

superosku commented 8 years ago

description

Sometimes the tea kettle is placed so that the coffee cam reads it as coffee.

Possible solutions

  1. Fix the coffee-watch to be smarter (might be very hard or impossible)
  2. Establish a company wide policy that specifies a area where the tea kettle is not allowed to be positioned
  3. Buy a kettle that has brighter color

Nice 😂

This might be actually quite hard to detect.

Thanks for really good ticket!

For now I see that the option 1 is close to impossible, because it would require extremely good calibration for all brightness conditions. I think we should try to go with option 2, and use option 3 as fallback. If we manage to bring enough benefit for all employees, it should be possible to convince them to keep the kettle in some specific good place.
