First of all I want to thanks element14 and sponsors for selecting me as competitor in this awesome competition.
Here I want to share some ideas about my project enchanted windows.
1) It can be opened or closed remotely from anywhere. All the windows and curtains in our house can be closed by a single button in our mobile app, when we are leaving from home. Also we can know status (open or close) of any window.
2) It can we used as morning alarm. Windows and curtains will be opened automatically in morning and let the sun come in at preset time.
3) It can be used to avoid the mosquitoes and other unwanted bugs which generally enter home in evening time. We can set the time so that some desired windows will be automatically closed in evening at that time.
Not only preventing them from coming in we can add functionality to even kill them
Implementation
We can use high voltage grid and put it before window on outside. Generally insects are attracted towards the light. So we can have a light source behind window. Insects will be attracted toward the light but will be killed due to high voltage grid. Again this can be enabled using any wi-fi device. Arduino uno will control a relay and light source.
4) We can avoid fire accidents due to gas leakage by having automated ventilation, using gas sensors. If a gas sensor detects gas leakage the windows near leakage will be opened automatically, so that gas can be released outside easily.
5) Sometime in India people use diesel generators inside home this can create suffocation to the people and even lead to death. We can check CO2 level in home, and when it goes above the certain level windows will be opened automatically. Also In this condition people can cannot clearly find exits .So we can use red lights to show exits.
6) For the people who leave near railway station & airport are generally irritated by loud noise. We can automate windows, so that when noise begins it will automatically close and opens when noise goes.
