Concept

Ovens after a period of cycling through cleaning/using tend to build up fumes, the concept suggests an existing mechanism that can be reinterpreted using Arduino. Where two sensors can be used simultaneously to track residual heat in the oven and if fumes are building up during/after use, an immediate response will set of an alarm followed by an extractor.  This aims to prevent fire, diminished food flavor, unpleasant smell, respiratory issues or even decreased efficiency that will affect how long the food takes to cook and even more a surge in utility bills.

// put your setup code here, to run once:

Serial.begin(9600);

pinMode(Motor, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

int val0 = analogRead(13); // new int for remapped values
val0 = map(val0, 0, 1023, 0, 100); // remapping values

Serial.print(“TEMPERATURE IS: “); // serial print
Serial.println(val0);
Serial.println(“”);
delay(1000);

if(val0>=70) { // condition for motor: when soil humidity is high and sun exposure is low, motor starts to open window/blinds to let light and air in.
analogWrite(Motor, 80);
delay(500);
}else{
analogWrite(Motor, 0);
delay(500);
