Raspberry Pi 5 Office Occupancy Tracker Kit - AI IoT HVAC Energy Controller
Raspberry Pi 5 Office Occupancy Tracker Kit - AI-Driven HVAC Energy Optimizer
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn any office into a smart energy-saving space. This kit equips you to monitor CO2 levels and motion with PIR sensors, predict occupancy on the edge with Raspberry Pi 5, and train a reinforcement learning agent that adjusts HVAC setpoints in real time-cutting waste without sacrificing comfort. It's a complete AI-IoT system that mirrors real-world building management challenges.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a fully functional IoT device that reads two PIR motion detectors, a CO2 sensor, and two DHT22 temperature-humidity sensors. The Pi 5 processes data, runs an RL model (you'll train a Q-learning or DQN agent), and triggers two 5V relay modules to toggle HVAC cooling/heating. All sensor logs and model checkpoints store on the 128GB NVMe SSD via the M.2 HAT+, making it a standalone edge server. The final dashboard displays real-time occupancy predictions, CO2 trends, and relay states-proof you can orchestrate energy use from sensor data.
What You'll Learn
- Integrating CO2, PIR, and DHT22 sensors with a Raspberry Pi 5 over GPIO and serial interfaces
- Designing and coding a reinforcement learning agent (tabular or deep) to optimise HVAC setpoints
- Preparing real sensor data for occupancy prediction and reward functions
- Deploying a persistent IoT edge node with SSD storage and remote access via the AI companion

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring AI-IoT integration, B.Tech ECE/EEE learners prototyping for Smart India Hackathon or capstone projects, and ATL Tinkering Lab instructors building real-world automation demos. Also suits early-career engineers who want a hands-on RL deployment without juggling component sourcing.
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?
Scan the QR code to chat with the AI companion trained on this kit, or send a WhatsApp message - our team responds within 4 hours.
Do I need prior programming experience to train the RL agent?
Some Python familiarity helps, but the kit includes a ready-to-run Jupyter notebook and pre-configured RL skeleton that walks you through model training, reward shaping, and relay control.
Can I use this in a real office to control actual HVAC?
Yes-the relay modules are designed to switch low-voltage HVAC signals. For high-voltage systems, involve a licensed electrician; the project serves as a validated proof-of-concept that can be adapted for live installations.
Will this work with a Raspberry Pi 4 instead of the included Pi 5?
The M.2 HAT+ and NVMe SSD are chosen for Pi 5's PCIe lane. A Pi 4 would need a USB SSD adapter and separate power considerations. We recommend the included Pi 5 for guaranteed performance.
Office - CO2 and PIR sensors on Pi 5 predict occupancy - RL agent adjusts HVAC setpoints to balance comfort and energy savings.
