The Problem

In many parts of India, the weather is pleasant if we open the window at the right time and let the breeze in. In some homes, it is also the question of opening the right window at the right time of the day (or night). If it starts to rain, it is important to close one particular window, but only after the rain starts getting heavy and raindrops start coming in. Some places are mosquito-infested, so it is important to have the mosquito net panels closed at all times, and especially at night. Solution To develop a system to be end-user controllable, so that people can programme windows, curtains, fans, ACs and other appliances in their hom based on individual needs and the weather
