Office Occupancy Tracker Kit v3
Office Occupancy Tracker Kit v3 — Build an AI-Controlled Smart Office with Arduino and Natural Language
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine asking your office, “Is the meeting room free?” and an AI instantly checks live sensor data, then adjusts lighting and logs attendance automatically. This kit provides all the hardware to make that scenario real. You'll assemble a multi-sensor occupancy tracker that combines motion, identity, and environmental sensing, designed to integrate with a Linux single-board computer running a quantised Phi-2 large language model. When paired with our Visual Bridge, natural language commands like “Turn on the AC when someone enters” translate directly into Arduino actions—no coding of AI logic required.
What You'll Build
You will solder and assemble a complete sensor node capable of monitoring two office zones independently. PIR motion detectors track occupancy, an RFID reader identifies staff by tag, a pair of DHT22 sensors measure temperature and humidity, and an OLED displays status locally. A 4-channel relay module lets you control lights, fans, or access locks based on occupancy events. Once connected to a Linux MPU (such as a Raspberry Pi) via USB, the system responds to spoken or typed queries processed by a locally running AI, giving your office a truly intelligent, privacy-respecting automation layer.
What You'll Learn
- Solder and assemble a multi-sensor PCB project, including power regulation with an LM2596 buck converter and noise filtering with diodes and capacitors
- Program an Arduino to read PIR, DHT22, and RFID data, and control relays based on serial commands from an AI host
- Implement bidirectional USB serial communication between Arduino and a Linux MPU for real-time command and data exchange
- Design a hardware system that bridges natural language intent—parsed by a quantised LLM—to physical office actions via Visual Bridge function calls

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is built for facility managers, workspace automation integrators, and tech-savvy professionals who want to deploy smart occupancy solutions in ITES or BPO offices. It also serves M.Tech students working on IoT-AI fusion projects, and experienced hobbyists who have mastered Arduino basics and want to bridge hardware with cutting-edge LLM interfaces. If you’re prototyping for Hackathons or corporate innovation labs, the included soldering iron and complete BOM let you focus on your AI integration logic instead of chasing components across multiple vendors.
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?
Our AI companion guides you step by step, and you can reach our team via WhatsApp for personalised troubleshooting on the same Bengaluru number listed on the box.
Do I need a separate Linux MPU for the AI part?
Yes, the kit supplies all sensor and control hardware. To run the natural language AI, you will need a Linux single-board computer (Raspberry Pi or similar) running the open-source Phi-2 model. We provide a setup guide and the Visual Bridge code to link them seamlessly.
Can this kit work without the AI, just as a logger?
Absolutely. The Arduino can run standalone code to log occupancy and control relays via simple rules. You can later add the Linux MPU for the full natural language experience.
Is soldering experience required?
Some basic soldering skill is helpful because several components and the PCB board require assembly. The included iron and our detailed walkthroughs make it approachable even if you’re building your first soldered project, but patience is essential.
Office — Phi-2 quantised LLM on Linux MPU interprets natural language commands and calls STM32 functions via Visual Bridge.
