Inspiration
My name is Daniel and this is Kechu. The inspiration behind fenestra was born while Kechu was living in Germany. Frische Luft, German for Fresh Air, is a common phrase in Germany used to describe the daily routine of opening windows to let fresh air in and flush stuffy air out. A closed-up building is regarded as very UN-healthy.

How I built it
Hardware consists of an Arduino which connects to the SmartThings ecosystem.
Challenges I ran into
