HVAC Performance Monitor Kit v21
HVAC Performance Monitor Kit – Detect Temperature Anomalies with ESP32 & Z-Score
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems hum in the background until something drifts—a clogged filter, a refrigerant leak, or a failing compressor. This kit puts you in control. You’ll build a wireless monitor that continuously samples temperature from a DHT22 sensor, computes a running Z-score baseline, and fires an MQTT alert the moment readings slip beyond three standard deviations—long before equipment damage or energy waste sets in.
What You'll Build
An ESP32-powered HVAC performance monitor that mounts near a vent or chiller line. Green LEDs glow when temperature stays within normal statistical bounds; red LEDs flash and an MQTT publish triggers when the Z-score crosses a configurable threshold. You’ll see exactly how machine-like anomaly detection flags subtle, real-world faults without constant manual checking.
What You'll Learn
- Read DHT22 humidity and temperature data on an ESP32 using Arduino IDE libraries
- Implement a rolling Z-score anomaly detection algorithm in C++ on the ESP32
- Set up a local MQTT broker (Mosquitto) and publish sensor state alerts
- Use bi-colour LED status indicators for in-situ fault signalling

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately
| Factor | Sourcing Separately | Compoden Kit |
|---|---|---|
| Compatibility checks | You verify every part | Pre-tested as a system |
| Build support | Forums and scattered tutorials | AI companion trained on this exact project |
| Time to first working build | Days of debugging | Hours, with step-by-step guidance |
| Shipping coordination | Multiple sellers, multiple delays | One shipment from Bengaluru in 3-5 days |
Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students tackling IoT in their Skill Subject, ATL Tinkering Lab innovators prototyping predictive maintenance ideas, and B.Tech ECE freshers who want a hands-on sensor analytics project. No prior statistics knowledge is required—the Z-score logic is explained step-by-step in the build companion.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Your AI companion covers calibration, MQTT setup, and Z-score implementation. If you prefer a human, our WhatsApp support responds within 4 business hours.
Do I need to run my own MQTT broker?
For the local alert workflow, yes—the guide walks you through installing Mosquitto on a laptop or Raspberry Pi in under 10 minutes. Cloud broker integration is an optional extension.
Does the Z-score calculation happen on the ESP32 itself?
Yes, the ESP32 maintains a moving mean and standard deviation window, computes the Z-score of each new reading, and compares it to a threshold you can tune—all without an internet connection.
Can this be entered in a CBSE or science fair project?
Absolutely. The kit maps directly to CBSE AI/IT curriculum units on data analytics and IoT. The anomaly detection principle and real-time dashboarding make a compelling project showcase.
HVAC — Z-score anomaly detection on ESP32 monitors DHT22 temperature data — alerts MQTT broker when readings deviate from baseline.
