Air conditioning is one of the prime contributors to global warming and adds over 100 million tons of carbon dioxide every year and uses 8 % of global electricity. My project will predict the right temperature for the user according to external temperature and benefiting his health. And it will set the predicted temperature using IR Transmitter.
During Summer we keep ACs On everytime at same temperature, but the external temperature changes according to day and night. According to researchers almost all homes uses ACs in a wrong way which leads to health damage as when you go out of the AC room our body temperature changes drastically.
This Prototype takes the External Temperature and Calculates best Indoor Temperature which is best for your Health, best for Reducing your Bills and best for the Planet.
How it Works- It uses external Temperature and Humidity from DHT11 Temp Sensor. It then passes the data to QuickFeather Board.
- By judging the external temperature with internal room temperature from Air Conditioner, it calculates the required temperature using a minimum temperature difference. References
- Then it Will Set the AC temperature using IR Transmitter and send the HEX code to UP/DOWN the AC Temperature.
- The Hex Codes were collected for my AC Remote were using TSOP 1738 IR RECEIVER and Arduino.
- The Prototype Runs on a 3.3V Battery Pack and can be placed in front of AC Wall to run 24x7.
I have 3D printed a Case and connected all with a PerfBoard. (I couldn't upload the code and part file as my laptop broke a week ago before submission and done this project documentation from Phone. I will add it soon)
Future Updates- Predicting the temperature by training Machine Learning Model on Optimal AC Temperature Data.
- Creating a Compact version of the prototype with small battery size and case.
