Use visuals to reflect the state of a state machine that normally uses sound to show state. If you have your Arduinos, please use hardware. If not, p5.js or other software on a computer is fine. Show the state machine in your response, a diagram or words are both fine.
If you’re looking for some cues, 99 Percent Invisible has a great, 15 minute podcast on “Deafspace“.
Questions: I rely on my water boiler, microwave, a kitchen timers to beep at me when certain states are changed. What’s a visual mechanism that doesn’t require me to simply stand there and wait? (English expression: “A watched kettle never boils.”)

I do not know why but phone/mechanical alarms tend to give me migraines. (I think it’s because it suddenly creates a loud noise that wakes you up? not sure; but this is why I can’t take naps) So I just wake up corresponding to light. Yet I also sweat a lot, and I have been waking up in a gross state of mind because always wake up to the heat of the sunlight.
So I thought, what if an LED lamp works as an alarm instead of creating a loud sound.
I coded/made a circuit that has an LED that corresponds with the value of a photoresistor.
In real life, the photoresistor would be attached behind the blind so when the sun comes out, the LED lamp will light up without sunlight over heating the room.
