Heat Map

Skills Used

• Python
• Visual Studio Code
• Cursor AI

Final Goal

Create a program that displays a heat-map of a floor plan that updates in real time for a space. With a final goal of being able to run as a containerized add-on in the home automation software Home-Assistant

Progress

Currently the program runs in the simple python GUI editor tkinter. Users see a grid which they can select where their sensors are on the grid and enter temperature values for those sensors, to act as an temporary manual input.

Future Goals

• Use heat mapping methods learned in ME 3333 Heat Transfer
• Better separate the back end to allow for a new GUI
• Build a web based interface
• Allow sensor input to live update the map
• Allow changing of the grid size and allow non square shapes
• Allow addition of walls in the grid (eventually different wall/insulation types)
