Have you ever wanted to know what the temperature variation across the rooms in your house is? What about seeing if you left the lights on? What if we could monitor the status of our house and rooms from anywhere? With this device, you would never have to ask those questions again. This monitoring system will allow users to check for various activities at your home, even while you are far away! The things you can check for include if the lights are on, if there is a lot of noise, or even just the temperature in different rooms of your house.
The way this device works is by having a series of different modules that can be located in different rooms of the persons choosing. The main device with the LCD display receives data from the other two modules. The user can use two buttons to select which data is shown on screen. The other devices contain sensors, and publish that sensor data. Both secondary modules contain thermometers, while one contains a microphone and the other a light sensor. These can be used in conjunction with the LCD module to see what the activity is in other rooms without having to be in the room. You don't even have to put these in your home, you could put these anyplace you could want to monitor! Besides that, this device could be useful even for road trips since the data is viewable from anyplace on the world.
