Most of the houses in the United States are equipped with the HVAC systems that are used for temperature regulation in households. It’s thermostat system however is severely outdated since it is controlled by a single thermostat that is located somewhere in the building; It creates an issue of irregular temperature balance if the house has multiple rooms. Our solution for this problem is to have multiple local thermostats across the house that would autonomously control the airflow to provide accurate temperature regulation to the designated rooms. These devices will allow the users to monitor and adjust their temperature requirement according to their preference. It has features like self-recharging capabilities (for the damper system) so that the user won’t need to replace batteries. It also has a variety of enhanced safety features to protect users from various household hazards like smoke or hazardous gases via detectors. We hope that we can deliver a modern solution for HVAC temperature control and to make houses more cozy to live in.
