Description: This project was part of Embedded System Course (CSE537) taught by Dr Amarjeet Singh. In this project, we installed a Flyport having PIR, Light and Temperature sensors in one of the rooms of boy’s dormitory of our campus. Flyport was sending data to the local server (established by us) which was buffering the data and forwarding it to various Internet of Things (IoT) services. For further information: Embedded Systems 2013
Hardware Used: Flyport (Ethernet-based microcontroller), PIR Sensor (For motion detection), Maxim DS18B20 (1-Wire temperature sensor), APDS9300 (Light Sensor), Relay (To check if window is open/close)
Technologies Used: OpenPicus IDE (For flyport), Python (Server-side scripting – the web)
Teammate: Anil Sharma

"Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have faith in people, that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they will do wonderful things with them" - Steve Jobs. We are here to design technology that assists people, not to replace them. Today, we are surrounded by the sensors which are generating an enormous amount of information. While this giant pool of data can learn a lot about human behavior, with the right intent, data and technology together can genuinely benefit the people. If data can identify that a person is under stress, technology should provide a way to reduce that stress. I am a data science researcher and primarily works at the intersection of data science and smart homes. Being a researcher, I keep exploring novel and innovative ways to make homes energy efficient, comfortable, and sustainable.
