Project: Temp Management System for AC Unit

README.md

Implementation Notes

Activation

How to determine if it should be active/inactive

• AC Current Sensor
  • Gravity: Analog AC Current Sensor: Will be used to detect if the AC unit is currently "on" and active
    • Wiki
  • Gravity: I2C ADS1115 16-Bit ADC Module: Needed for converting analog signal from AC current sensor for Raspberry Pi
    • Wiki

Interfacing

Unit is "on" or "off"

Current AC Unit Settings

How to determine what the current temperature setting is

• Read Segmented Display Output
  • gabrielburnworth/SSD-Reader: Read a seven-segment display using OpenCV and the Raspberry Pi Camera
  • Use RPI Camera V2 for capturing it
  • TODO: determine how to mount the camera for it to consistently see the display

Controlling the AC Unit

How to change settings

• Control unit as the remote control can
  • TODO: Get an IR emitter
  • TODO: Get an IR receiver or device to read the IR signals from the remote for calibration
