MAKHACHKALA, May 21 – RIA Dagestan. Dmitry Abuzyarov, a student at Dagestan State Technical University, has advanced to the finals of the "Energy of Development" student project competition with his proposal titled "System for Monitoring Smart Home Parameters Using Energy from Ambient Environmental Side Effects".
The project involves developing an intelligent system that continuously monitors indoor parameters—temperature, humidity, lighting, motion, and occupancy—while operating entirely on energy harvested from the surrounding environment. Power sources include solar panels, thermal sensors that capture temperature differentials, and vibrational or kinetic converters that transform motion into electricity.
The system is designed to be fully autonomous, capable of collecting data, transmitting it to a controller or cloud platform, and triggering actions such as adjusting heating, controlling lighting, or activating alerts when needed. By eliminating dependence on external power grids, the approach aims to enhance energy efficiency, reduce electricity costs, and improve overall system reliability. The project represents a step toward smarter, more sustainable, and cost-effective home management solutions.
