Integrate environmental monitoring (air quality, temperature, humidity)

Purpose

1.1. Automate the integration of environmental monitoring (air quality, temperature, humidity) within public restrooms in government facilities for real-time facility usage analytics and health compliance.
1.2. Automator deployed to enable safe/hygienic usage, early detection of anomalies, and resource optimization by collecting and analyzing sensor data.
1.3. Automated workflows ensure thresholds are monitored, alerts sent, and reports auto-generated for compliance, maintenance, and public safety.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Sensor value changes above/below defined thresholds for air quality, temperature, or humidity.
2.2. Scheduled timed checks for routine environmental reporting.
2.3. Automated detection of environmental anomalies (e.g., high CO2, excessive humidity).
2.4. Manual override or remote site manager input triggers.
