IoT Project Documentation: Central Heating Control

October 25, 2023

📖  Introduction

The Central Heating Control project aims to monitor and manage home heating efficiently. It uses IoT technology to track the average temperature in a room and detect when someone is in front of the heating system, signaling the need for adjustment.

🛠️  Components

• ESP32 microcontroller
• Temperature sensor (TMP36)
• Ultrasonic proximity sensor (HC-SR04)
• Adafruit IO for data storage and retrieval
• P5.js for data visualization

🔍  How It Works

🌡️  Temperature Monitoring

The project employs a TMP36 temperature sensor to measure the room temperature. The sensor's output voltage is converted to temperature in degrees Celsius using the formula:

Temperature (°C) = (Voltage - 0.5) * 100 Temperature data is collected every hour and sent to Adafruit IO for storage.
