Humidity monitoring and adjustment system
Methods and systems for humidity monitoring and adjustment are described herein. Data from at least one external sensor system is received by a computing device. The external sensor system determines at least one of outdoor air temperature and outdoor air humidity. Data from at least one internal sensor system is received by the computing device. The internal sensor system determines at least one of indoor air temperature and indoor air humidity. A dew point for an indoor environment is calculated based upon the data from the external sensor system and data from the internal sensor system. A graphical indication of an indoor environment climate may be displayed based upon the calculated dew point. Access openings, such as windows, may be opened or closed to change the humidity of the indoor environment.
1 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, sensor data from one or more external sensor systems and one or more internal sensor systems;
outputting, by the computing device, an indication of temperature and humidity, determined from the sensor data; and
transmitting, by the computing device, a control instruction to a control system of an access opening, responsive to an access opening command based on comparison of an estimated humidity value to a user humidity input.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating, by the computing device, a graphical indication based user-requested data related to temperature and humidity.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data from the one or more external sensor systems comprises data representing outdoor humidity, and the sensor data from the one or more internal sensor systems comprises data representing indoor humidity.
4 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
outputting, by the computing device, a graphical indication and the sensor data to a display device of the computing device.
5 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
receive, by a computing device, sensor data from one or more external sensor systems and one or more internal sensor systems; and
output, by the computing device, an indication of temperature and humidity, determined from the sensor data; and
transmitting, by the computing device, a control instruction to a control system of an access opening, responsive to an access opening command based on comparison of an estimated humidity value to a user humidity input.
6 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the storing instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
receive the sensor data from the one or more internal sensor systems via one or more wireless connections; and
receive the sensor data from the one or more external sensor systems via one or more wireless connections.
7 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the storing instructions, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
generate a graphical indication based on the user humidity input.
8 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the sensor data from the one or more external sensor systems comprises data representing outdoor humidity, and the sensor data from the one or more internal sensor systems comprises data representing indoor humidity.
9 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the control instruction is based on a user input associated with the access opening command.
10 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the storing instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
generate a second graphical indication of an expected outcome of implementation of the access opening command; and
output, to a display device, the second graphical indication.
11 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the user humidity input is received via a display device.
12 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the storing instructions, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
output, to a display device, the sensor data received from the one or more internal sensor systems; and
output, to the display device, the sensor data received from the one or more external sensor systems.
13 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the user humidity input is an indoor humidity.
14 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the storing instructions, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
determine whether to change an access opening from one of: an open state to a closed state and a closed state to an open state,
wherein the access opening command is outputted responsive to determining to change the access opening.
15 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the control instruction is an instruction to change an access opening from one of: an open state to a closed state, or the closed state to the open state.
16 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 5 , wherein the indication includes a user comfort level based, at least in part, on a defined comfort setting of a user, and wherein the access opening command is further based on the user comfort level.
17 . An apparatus comprising:
one or more processors;
memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
receive, by a computing device, sensor data from one or more external sensor systems and one or more internal sensor systems;
output, to a display device of the apparatus, an indication of temperature and humidity, determined from the sensor data; and
transmit a control instruction to a control system of an access opening responsive to an access opening command based on comparison of an estimated humidity value to a user humidity input.
18 . The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the memory storing computer-executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the apparatus to:
generate a graphical indication based on the user humidity input.
19 . The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the sensor data from the one or more external sensor systems comprises data representing outdoor humidity, and the sensor data from the one or more internal sensor systems comprises data representing indoor humidity.
20 . The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the user humidity input is received via the display device of the apparatus.
