Pachube Post & S.W.O.T Analysis


"I have attached a light sensor to my window in order to gather information on how much light flow may vary throughout the day. The sensor has been positioned in an area where direct sunlight will hit the most as there are no obstructions."

Strengths
This technique used to gather information on light flow will help controll the amount of artificial light being used inside a room/house/ building. This would also help stabilize  temperature readings and have a a beneficial auto climate control within an environment.

Weaknessess
A weakness i found is that just having 1 sensor at 1 window will not be enough to have an accurate light flow control. Solving this problem would mean to have multiple sensors controlling different windows or skylights in a room.

Oppertunities
Great oppertunities that can arise is that there can be auto climate control Letting a certain amount of light in during the day. This will help not only controlling the light flow, but also temperature readings would also increase or decrease depending on how much light flow is intended.

Threat
A threat i found could cause problems is that allowing full control of light flow may effect how dark a room may get, causing complete isolation and intent of using artifical lighting.
