Getting Out of a Bad Date (with Fitbit and Nexmo)

You've been set up for a blind date by your friends Bob and Carol, who are fantastically bad judges of character. Your date is rude, has terrible table manners, and smells funny. You need to get out of this date fast. To do so, you'll use the Fitbit Ionic smartwatch with the Nexmo Voice API to trigger a phone call from your friend Nexmo, which will ring your phone. The companion app on your phone will receive the request and forward it to the Nexmo server, which will then make the actual outbound call to your phone. You'll need to set up a server using Node.js and ExpressJS, configure your Nexmo account, and install the necessary apps on both the Ionic and your phone. With this setup, you can trigger a bail-out call by pressing a button on your watch, which will ring your phone and allow you to escape the date.
