The system can automatically activate air purifiers or ventilation systems to mitigate air quality issues.

5. Ongoing Monitoring

The GTT Sensor continues to monitor air quality and update the system, ensuring prompt responses to any changes.

Postconditions

After the capability completes, the air quality is either improved through automated actions, or the homeowner is informed and can take manual steps to address the issue.

Optional Enhancements

• Integrate with smart HVAC systems for automated climate control.
• Add historical data tracking for air quality trends over time.
• Implement voice alerts via smart speakers for immediate notifications.
