The Concept
The project is based on the intelligent home, where smart solutions make it easier for the user to control the electronics at home.
The result of the project is based on a concept where the user can control and gain a better insight into the indoor climate and air quality.
The semester project was done in springtime 2016 in team of six members with joint oral exam with individual grades.
A simple interface ensures that the product is user-friendly and quick to use.
With an overview of your consumption, it gives you a much greater insight into savings plans.
It was desired that the product should have a secondary function when not in use. The clock helps to make the product fit into the home, and the grid over the screen is to create an illusion that it’s not a touch screen.
When you are traveling, or leaving for several days, "travel mode" can be activated, where the return date and time is set. The house then goes into a "sleep state" where the temperature is lowered until you return home.
For the remote control to get information about air quality and temperature in each room, a "sensor box" must be installed. It sends measurements wirelessly to the remote via Z-Wave communication technology.
The sensor box has aesthetic reference in both the remote, but also in a typical smoke alarm with respect to physical size. Inside is a moisture sensor, dust sensor, temperature sensor and CO2 meter.
