HVAC Performance Monitor Kit v24 — Decentralised Swarm Optimisation with 5 ESP32 Nodes

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Assemble five ESP32 nodes that collectively learn the most energy‑efficient temperature setpoints — without any central controller. Each node senses its zone with a DHT22 and controls a relay for simulated HVAC response, then uses particle swarm optimisation to negotiate the best thermal compromise across all nodes. This is a hands‑on lab in collaborative AI at the edge, designed for Indian engineering students and hackathon participants.

What You'll Build

You will create a self‑organising climate management system. Across a tabletop or multi‑room setup, the five ESP32 nodes broadcast temperature readings and receive neighbour data via ESP‑NOW. A lightweight particle swarm algorithm on each device iteratively adjusts its relay switching threshold to minimise the overall temperature deviation from user‑set goals. The result is a fully decentralised energy‑balancing network that works without internet or a cloud server.

What You'll Learn

• Implementing particle swarm optimisation on the ESP32 for collaborative temperature control
• Setting up wireless mesh communication between multiple microcontrollers using ESP‑NOW
• Interfacing DHT22 sensors and relay modules for real‑world HVAC simulation
• Designing decentralised IoT systems that self‑regulate without a central hub

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit is designed for B.Tech ECE/EEE students building IoT and energy management projects, teams participating in Smart India Hackathon with climate control problem statements, and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors introducing decentralised algorithms. CBSE Class 11–12 students who have worked with Arduino before can also follow the guided programming to understand swarm intelligence in a tangible way.

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.
