Project HEARTH

Fall 2023

Final project developed for Junior Design

The Idea

For the Final Design Project in Junior Design, I created what I am calling Project HEARTH (The Home Environment Automation for Renters/Tenants Hub). This system of devices enables the user to control lighting wirelessly from anywhere in the home, in a renter-friendly, damage-free way. See the slides below for my design:
