AuraLink: AI-Powered IoT Monitoring
Project Overview
AuraLink is an intelligent environmental monitoring ecosystem that bridges the gap between raw sensor telemetry and human-centric insights. Leveraging an ESP32 microcontroller and DHT22 sensors, the system captures real-time atmospheric data, which is then processed through a custom Python backend integrated with Google Gemini AI to provide context-aware environmental analysis.
Key Features
- High-precision Temperature & Humidity tracking via DHT22
- Intelligent AI Insights via Google Gemini API integration
- Real-time communication using MQTT Protocol
- Visual feedback via SSD1306 OLED and Tri-color LED indicators
- Automated Email Notifications for critical threshold breaches
- Interactive Web Dashboard for historical data visualization
Core Innovations
Context-Aware AI Analysis
Unlike standard monitors, AuraLink uses Gemini AI to analyze sensor data patterns and provide literary-style atmosphere quotes and actionable health recommendations based on current indoor conditions.
Hybrid Communication Layer
Implemented a robust MQTT infrastructure for device-to-backend communication, paired with WebSockets to ensure sub-second UI updates on the monitoring dashboard.
