Countdown Plugin

[danfranks]

Plugin to count down a sprinkler system turning on to allow small children to run from the lawn before the sprinkler system turns on spraying them, freezing them in panic, and then devolving into a crying wet pile.

So how would the plugin warn the kids?

Maybe play a recorded thunder clap like the produce section of the supermarket?

This is an interesting idea. I'll give it some thought as to how it could be implemented.

I like the thunderclap idea.  It is simpler than what I was thinking.  

I had pulled down a text to speech library and was having it say "You have ten seconds to vacate the lawn.  The sprinklers are turning on in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.  Sprinklers turning on now."  My daughters thought it was pretty hilarious when I tested it earlier.  By tested I mean, hooked up speakers to the rpi, installed the libraries and ran espeak from the command line.  Then I manually triggered the sprinklers.
