Motivation
Whole world is suffering from high fine dust rates. Especially, Delhi’s fine dust rates are so terrible that It is ranked one of the most air-polluted area in the world. We can simply know outside fine dust rate by searching internet, but It is relatively hard to know fine dust rates in our life zones.
So we come up with real time air management system to deal with this problem easily. With this system, users can not only know fine dust rate directly, but also take action to solve it automatically.
Outline
We designed real-time fine dust management system using sensor. The dust sensor(GP2Y1023AU0F) located inside measures the fine dust rate on real time. Then we can receive and see the fine dust levels in real time through LCD monitor and openHAB. Also the color of the RGB LED light bulb changes according to the level of fine dust. For example, the color changes to green for clean, yellow for normal, and red for bad. If the LED is green, the network is configured to open the door. Instead of the window, We use blue LED. If the blue light bulb turns on, it means the window is opened, and if it is turned off, it means the window is closed.
Development purpose
- Check fine dust rate in real time.
- Can have appropriate solution to avoid the fine dust inside.
Major functions
- Users can check fine dust rate(ug/m^3) in real time using LCD monitor and openHAB
- Depend on the dust rate, LED light bulb changes.
- If 0<= (dust rate) <15, LED turns green. (clean)
- Else if 15<=(dust rate)<50, LED turns yellow. (average)
- Else if (dust rate) >50, LED turns red. (bad)
- If level of fine dust is bad(higher than 50ug/m^3), window(blue LED) is automatically closed(OFF).
- We can get dust rate data using openHAB mobile app by using openHAB cloud service, so we could get home's live dust rate data when we are not in our home. It could be a good IoT function.
