ShowerReminderBot 🚿💧

A fun and effective way to remind people to maintain good hygiene by gamifying their shower routine!

---

🛠️ Overview

ShowerTimeBot is a Telegram bot that helps users keep track of their showering habits using an innovative system involving QR codes, a photo-based ML model, and a reminder feature.

Users scan a QR code in their bathroom and interact with the bot to start and stop their shower timer. An ML model verifies the presence of a showerhead, ensuring the timer is only activated during actual showers.

✨ Features

• QR Code Integration:
  Users scan a QR code pasted in their bathroom to interact with the bot.

• ML Verification:
  The bot ensures a valid shower session by analyzing the picture for a showerhead.

• Shower Timer:
  A timer starts when the shower begins and stops when the user scans the QR code again. The bot verifies if the session lasted at least 10 minutes.

• Daily Reminders:
  A daily reminder system on Telegram to prompt users to maintain good hygiene.

3. Ending a Shower:

   • Scan the QR code again after your shower.
   • The bot checks the duration and sends a summary of your shower time.
