Project: Intelligent Sensor Array

An overview of the architecture and intelligence layers for a next-generation, context-aware smart environment.

Core Architecture

The system is built on a multi-stage analysis engine that processes data over increasing timescales, moving from raw sensor input to deep pattern recognition.

Intelligence Categories

Our system delivers two distinct forms of insight, blending actionable recommendations with ambient, human-like observations.

  • Formal Insights

    Structured, actionable information focused on environmental optimization, energy efficiency, and comfort metrics with clear recommendations.

  • Tidbits Engine

    Casual, "human-like" observations that make the system feel alive by pointing out unexpected correlations, amusing patterns, and lifestyle observations.

System Personalities

Instead of a single, neutral voice, the system implements multiple distinct "personalities" that represent different functional cores (e.g., Environmental, Health, Behavioral). These entities interact, debate, and build on each other's findings to reach a consensus, providing a more dynamic and robust analysis. This "House Hub" approach allows for nuanced, context-aware actions and recommendations.

Core Hardware Components

The system utilizes a distributed network of sensors and processing units, with ESP32-S3s as primary room controllers and a central server for heavier processing.
