Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to lpwan-enabled smart environment control system for efficient smart building management.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
With the help of LPWAN technology, this innovative system easily integrates a network of sensors and actuators for the monitoring and control of environmental conditions within buildings, revolutionizing the administration of smart buildings. By constantly gathering data in real time on multiple aspects, the system ensures maximum occupant comfort, energy efficiency, and safety. The centralized control server analyzes this data with the help of advanced machine learning algorithms to make intelligent judgments and automatically adjusts the environment when needed. This innovative technology is changing the way that buildings are managed and operated by providing a scalable and affordable choice for a broad range of applications, from residential complexes to industrial complexes.
The problem at hand is with the limitations and inefficiencies that come with traditional building management systems. These systems often do not perform well enough to monitor and regulate the environment in a way that ensures safety, energy efficiency, and comfort for occupants. They frequently can't gather and analyze data in real-time, which leads to underperformance and increased energy consumption.
US10386804B2: The examples herein offer an improved, more integrated implementation of lighting control and building management control, e.g. within the same gateway or cloud computing/control element(s), via an integrated software architecture. A visualization platform of the software architecture provides an integrated user interface via network communication of the computing element with a user terminal device. The integrated user interface offers the user an integrated view of status of building automation control (BAC) appliances and luminaires within the premises, as well as integrated access to control operations of the BAC appliances and the luminaires. For example, the overall system of integrated lighting and building management control may offer a 'single pane of glass' type user interface for lighting and other managed operations in the premises. Also, the architecture may utilize a broker for publish-and-subscribe communications, for exchange of information between lighting and building management application and with the visualization platform.

Offering a robust, scalable, and affordable solution for managing smart buildings, the LPWAN-Enabled Smart Environment Control System serves a wide range of applications in the commercial, industrial, and residential domains. Through the utilization of LPWAN technology and sophisticated data processing capabilities, the system enables building operators to create and maintain ideal settings that promote efficiency, comfort, and welfare. It functions through a network of linked parts, each of which plays a distinct part in keeping an eye on and controlling the environmental conditions inside structures. The devices SECR_BCMote and SECT_BCMote are at the heart of this breakthrough. The Raspberry Pi Processor Board-equipped SECT_BCMote has a camera module and other sensors, including light, motion, temperature, humidity, pressure, and microphones. These sensors gather information about the environment around them on a constant basis, recording vital parameters required for efficient administration and control.
The data is wirelessly transmitted from the SECT_BCMote to the SECR_BCMote device, which is located in the center of the building, via LPWAN technology. Serving as a hub in the middle, SECR_BCMote gathers and transmits data to a centralized control server. Through the use of an ESP8266 module for both LPWAN and Wi-Fi connectivity, SECR_BCMote makes sure that the sensors and the control server are in constant communication, allowing for real-time data transmission and control orders. In order to make well-informed judgments about environmental management, the control server analyzes the incoming data streams using sophisticated machine learning algorithms. Through the examination of data gathered from several sensors, the server is able to modify environmental elements, including lighting, humidity, and temperature, in order to keep the facility operating at peak efficiency. In order to improve environmental monitoring and control, the system also includes features like voice and image processing capabilities, made possible by the camera module and microphones.
In addition, the system's LPWAN-based design has many advantages, such as low power consumption and wide coverage, which makes it appropriate for deployment in a variety of environments. This guarantees that the system can efficiently handle structures and sizes of buildings, from large-scale industrial facilities to smart residences. Through a personalized web dashboard, the technology also gives stakeholders access to real-time environmental data and insights. Critical conditions like deviating from predetermined thresholds-cause the system to sound alerts via a number of channels, including a dedicated mobile application, SMS notifications, and hooter activation. This keeps the building environment safe, comfortable, and productive by enabling building authorities and security professionals to quickly address possible problems.
