Abstract

Lumigen is an innovative air quality monitoring system designed to enhance indoor environmental awareness using real-time data visualization [1]. The system combines an air quality sensor connected to a Raspberry Pi with a set of Philips Hue lights that change color based on detected air quality levels [2]. This setup provides immediate visual feedback, alerting users to air quality changes without requiring them to check a separate device. Users can interact with Lumigen through a mobile app that facilitates real-time monitoring, historical data analysis, and customization of air quality alerts and light settings [3]. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that Lumigen effectively detects and responds to variations in air quality, with a rapid response time and high accuracy. Unlike other solutions that may require separate displays or offer limited data insights, Lumigen seamlessly integrates into everyday life, providing both visual and data-driven cues about air quality. Future developments could enhance its portability, integrate automated responses with air purifiers, and offer advanced data analytics to further empower users to manage their indoor environments proactively [4].
