Smart Home Air Intake

• 

  The current board with plans to expand

• 

  Outdoor blink camera integrated into system to provide local temps

• 

  Indoor sensor to monitor humidity and by room temp

• 

  the raspberry pi with z-wave integrations

• 

  the raspberry pi with the interior air quality sensor wired

• 

  the fresh air intake system to be modified

Inspiration

My Fiancé and dog both suffer from severe allergies

What it does

This leverages raspberry pis and other smart home IOT devices to gather data and detect air quality throughout the house to make determinations on opportune times to pull in fresh air while avoiding carbon dioxide build up.

How we built it

2 Raspberry PI's with one running Home Assistant and the other providing testing, a blink external camera system, api's from weather sites, a CSS811 air quality sensor, an MQ-2 Gas sensor, wise smart plug and a Brown fresh air intake system

Challenges we ran into

None

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I successfully soldered a RPI zero GPIO pin set.

What we learned

HVAC systems can experience mechanical wear by restricting airflow due to a clogged filter.

What's next for Smart Home Air Intake

Migrating to a rpi zero and creating a low profile case.
