  Kloaka Kloaka is our group project for the IoT 2021 course @ Sapienza University of Rome. The Core Idea We believe there is a tight relationship between the quality of marine waters and the quality and status of those waters that directly flow into the seas. We decided to focus on sewage waters, and in particular we developed Kloaka , a sewer pipes monitoring system that detects changes in the flow of sewage waters, which may be potentially caused by obstructions or leakages and will surely cause negative effects to sea waters (i.e. where this kind of waters flow). The nature of the obstructions can vary, from physical objects that are thrown away by people (street garbage), to rubbish and increased amount of water caused by precipitations and bad weather in general.  For the last point, Kloaka makes use of collective intelligence gathered by weather forecasts websites like this one .

 Power Saver Power Saver is my series of individual assignments I developed for the IoT 2021 course. About Power Saver The aim of power saver is to optimize the power consumption in working places. This is achieved by sensing the environment to detect potential power wastefulness, in terms of artificial lights and heating/cooling system, in the rooms inside a building. This is achieved by using ambient light intensity and ambient temperature sensors, which periodically measure the light intensity (in lux) and temperature (in °C) respectively. The concept of "power wastefulness" is defined by the following events: The lights are on inside a room and the ambient light intensity exceeds a given threshold*. The lights are on inside a room while  outside  the usual working hours (e.g. at night). The current season is Summer   (therefore the a/c is supposed to be turned on) and the room's temperature falls below the given lower threshold*   (i.e. the a/c is...
