Workflow Description

1. Detect Sensor Readings

The system continuously monitors readings from the additional sensors for temperature and humidity.

2. Evaluate Conditions

When a reading is detected, the system evaluates if the conditions are outside of the predefined comfort range.

3. Adjust Climate Settings

If conditions are not optimal, the system automatically adjusts the Danfoss Air settings to restore comfort.

4. Confirm Adjustment

The system confirms that the adjustments have been made and monitors for further changes.

5. Log Data

All readings and adjustments are logged for future reference and analysis.

Postconditions

The indoor climate is maintained within the desired comfort levels, with the system continuously adapting to changing conditions.

Optional Enhancements

• Add notifications for significant changes in climate.
• Integrate with voice assistants for manual control.
• Enable remote access for monitoring and adjustments.
