Intention

The crude temperature during winter makes us frequent the comfort of heaters. But after a long day, we would again have to wait for some times so that heating coil is turned on to make us feel sufficiently warm. So, a remote heat control seemed to be a solution.

Goal

Is to construct a system for us to control our heater conditions, so that we can switch it on a couple of minutes before we enter our house.

Overview

The heater in the houses is represented by the output device servo. Once, the user gives the input, the heating operation starts based on the temperature feedback.

Process

Components used:

· Particle controller

· DS Temp Sensor

· Servo Motor

· Push Button

· Bread Board and Wires

The trigger is given by a push button for the operation start, for temperature sensing. If the temperature crosses less than the set value, the heater motor is turned on, and gives a feedback to the mobile device in the form of a SMS.If the temperature is already maintained, the action is not performed, and gives the corresponding feedback.

Reflection

I had learnt that the motor system outputs like power consumed could also be viewed as parameters and accordingly adjusted by the user. The system can be improvised by having a feedback mechanism, so that the heater/cooler could be switch off, after attaining the required temperature.
