Abstract

Airing under the sunlight is one of the most energy saving and environmentally-friendly approaches in drying clothes. However, rain showers could suddenly occur while no one is at home, causing the clothes out in the air to become soaked. To address this problem, the specially-designed “Smart Airer” could be a good helper. When raindrops are detected by the Airer's moisture sensor, a canopy will be activated to shield the clothing from the rain. Depending on the weather conditions, users can also control the canopy manually or use their smart phones to control it remotely through internet connections. With the help of “Smart Airer”, users can ease when going out and need not worry about sudden weather changes that could affect their clothes.
