Progress This Week:
-
Planned the integration of sensors and components into the model house
-
Designed initial wireframes for the user interface, focusing on an intuitive layout that allows users to monitor usage and set preferences for their household energy consumption optimization algorithm.
-
I will be assembling part of the model house tomorrow in preparation for the interim demo.
Challenges:
-
Acrylic sheets took longer than expected to arrive, so I was not able to laser cut them.
-
Balancing UI simplicity with the need to display comprehensive energy data in a user-friendly format.
Next Steps:
-
Finalize sensor placement and integration within the model house after assembly.
-
Continue refining the UI design, focusing on real-time data visualization and interactive elements.
-
Begin initial integration of whole system
