Space Environmental Management

Last Updated on : 2021-09-18 06:44:33download

Provide capabilities to collect environmental data, link devices, and adjust environmental conditions, and help you quickly implement device control and environmental management.

Scenarios

  • Environmental management in smart classrooms: Acquire real-time ambient temperature, and link with air conditioners and ventilation systems to provide a comfortable classroom environment. Classrooms, libraries, and sports venues are also supported.

    Space Environmental Management
  • Energy saving in libraries: Power off devices when no one is present and conditionally adjust the air conditioners and ventilation systems to reduce energy consumption. It also applies to scenarios with crowded spaces such as dormitories and classrooms.

Functional components

  • Collect environmental data: Acquire various air quality data, including temperature, humidity, air quality, formaldehyde, VOC, and carbon monoxide.

  • Link with devices: The air conditioner and ventilation system will be automatically powered on to improve indoor conditions if a person is detected under an uncomfortable temperature or environment.

  • Space occupation: Determine whether the space is occupied by deploying infrared motion sensors and presence sensors in a big space. Then, the accurate occupancy data can be returned by Tuya’s space occupancy algorithm.

  • Automatic power-off: With millimeter-wave radar recognition, devices of all categories are automatically powered off when no one is detected.

Development method

Develop based on Tuya APIs

Besides general APIs, Tuya has also tailored APIs suitable for space environmental management to empower industry developers. For more information about how to subscribe to the APIs, see Space Environmental Management.
