What is this?

This is a pedestrian crossing that used to be in service in Redhill. I recieved this as a present and realised the button; while present and functional, did not serve any function, and that just can't be.

I added a raspberry pi zero w to the inside of the crossing, wiring up a dual relay hat to the two lights allowing them to be controlled by the pi.

When the button is pressed the green and red lights flash imitating a pedestrian crossing. It also sends an email to me listing the time, date, and count of how many times the button has been pressed.

The code is a simple python script.
