Introduction

For this design challenge, I have decided to build an active environment monitoring system for smart safety and security. The system will not only monitor the environment, but will also respond accordingly. I originally planned to develop this system for use inside a workshop, but unfortunately I do not have access to one. Therefore, I will be using my working room and simulating a similar workshop environment. In addition to the hardware provided, I will also be using several extra sensors to achieve the project objectives, which I will explain in the next post. As shown in Image 1, it provides an overview of the main concept of this project. The system will monitor environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, air quality, and CO2, and based on these readings, it will take the necessary action. In addition, a sensor will be included to detect the presence of people. All of this will be monitored through a dedicated dashboard, and the data will be logged for future use.
