We created an alarm that wakes us up with the sun and only goes off when we're home. The big box was made to sit on a night stand or window sill and contains the alarm buzzer and customizable light sensor. The small box was made to go under a pillow so that the roller switch can be activated when someone lays down.

This is a simple project that uses one of our advanced logic Bits, the double AND. The Double AND connects two inputs to one output. 

In this case, the two inputs are the roller switch and light trigger Bits. The buzzer can only be triggered when both of the inputs are on.
