Arduino Watch Frog (HC-SR04 door distance alarm)
// ---------------------------------------------------------------- //
// Arduino Watch Frog (HC-SR04 door distance alarm)
// Place with sensor facing a closed door and then attach power.
// Alarm will sound if distance to door changes in either direction
// beyond the THRESHOLD. Alarm will not stop until power is disconnected.
// Tested on 10 September 2020
