Overview

Gaia Sentinel is an environmental intelligence platform we started as a school project. The idea was simple: traditional environmental monitoring is too slow. Lab tests take 48-72 hours. By the time you know there's contamination, the damage is done. We built sensor nodes that detect unsafe conditions in sub-second latency and alert you instantly. The platform monitors PM2.5, PM10, NO2, carbon monoxide, TDS, pH, and water temperature. Data flows from hardware nodes through our Python/Flask backend into a real-time WebGL dashboard. We won first place at Robo Genesis in December 2025 for this. Right now we're working on a HEPA Purification Node — it doesn't just measure pollution, it actively cleans the air when thresholds are crossed. 100 cubic meters per hour, industrial-grade HEPA-13 filter with activated carbon.

Features
  • Air quality monitoring — PM2.5, PM10, NO2, CO via laser-scattering sensors
  • Water quality monitoring — TDS, pH, turbidity analysis
  • Intelligent alert system — Low / Medium / Critical classification with SMS and email
  • Real-time WebGL dashboard with CSV/JSON export
  • Multi-platform: web console, mobile responsive, REST API
  • AES-256 encryption, role-based access control, GDPR compliant
  • Store-and-forward: nodes cache data locally for 30 days if internet drops
Hardware
  • Air Node — MQ135, MQ7, MQ2, MQ4, MQ6, DHT22 sensors. 5G & LoRaWAN mesh. IP67 weatherproof.
  • Water Node — TDS and water temperature sensors. IP68 fully submersible. 2+ year probe life.
  • Drone Attachment — < 150g modular payload. Universal DJI/Autel mount. Real-time 3D pollution heatmapping.
  • HEPA Purification Node — 100 m3/hour capacity. AI-autonomous activation. Industrial HEPA-13 + activated carbon.
