Our project

This drying rack is equipped with a micro:bit which allows us to detect the humidity and weather around around the clothes. Using the built-in sensors, it can detect the weather. When it is going to rain or the weather is too humid, the rack will life up and prevent us our clothes from getting wet. At the same time, the system will also turn on the this fan automatically for drying the clothes.

Our inspiration

Hong Kong is a small and crowed city and some people are living in a small residential area. In order to save the time for drying the washed clothes and save more energy, we design a smart drying rack to achieve the goal.
