Indoor Air Quality
A lame subject
, awesomely executed
Prepare your B-W-Bingo plates!
Previous job made me aware IAQ is very important
- prompt cognitive deficits
- headaches
- fatigue
- irritation of:
We had one
of these:
Turns out these bad boys
- Are very expensive
- Yet very limited in functionality
The cure:
- Commodity hardware
- Sensor network
- Streaming realtime data
- Time series databases
A handful of these:
Stream data over wifi:
- into one of eg.:
- Store in one of:
- InfluxDB, Prometheus, DynamoDB (or Cloudwatch?)
- Graph with one of:
- Grafana, D3, Datadog, Librato, Cloudwatch
Or, generate heatmap...!
Problems
to
solve:
- How do we interpret readings?
- Readings do not directly correlate with quality...
- Where do we store readings?
- Cloud solution: DynamoDB, BigQuery
- DIY: InfluxDB, Prometheus
- How do we push updated binaries to distributed embedded systems?
Problems to solve:
- How do we visualize readings?
- Cloud solution: Cloudwatch, Librato, Datadog
- DIY: Grafana, Kibana, "Heatmap"
- How do we alert when air quality drops?
- Sonos, LEDs, LIFX bulbs...
- Which is better: VI or EMACS?
Possibilities:
- First step towards partnerships:
- InfluxDB, SolarWinds, Datadog
- Boards can hold additional sensors
- Boards can double as WIFI mesh points
- Good chance to go hands-on with: MQTT, gRPC, Protobuf
Still got open slots on that bingo plate?
