The main idea of this project is to use the Rapid IoT Kit as the control unit of an air conditioner, and use it to monitor and control temperature, humidity and air quality of your house, to make it always be a comfortable environment.
The kit has monitor and control UI on its screen, and it also provides monitor and control UI on user's smart phone. The connection between the kit and phone is using BLE now. All the monitoring data and working status will be updated in real time.
In the future, we are planning to add WiFi connection for the kit, so that the kit can send data and be controlled from cloud service.

I have the following comments re: OOB firmware:
Unless the USB cable is connected, the battery in the device drains within a few hours.
When the USB cable is connected, the temperature reading is too high. I think the temperature sensor is too close to some component that radiates heat.
