In the following table are indicated the four most important themes, with the particular implementation repeated in order to understand the reason of the various choice.

Air composition will be constantly monitored (with focus on detecting the presence of substances which can be considered dangerous for the health of the subject) through ad hoc sensors placed in the room and so will be for temperature and humidity.
An intellingent system must first of all "read" the relevant parameters from the ambient or the user. Without the sensing interface a device would work only with a idealized model of the ambient, which probably does not match with the true ambient state. The main goal so is create an inteface that completely avoid this form of error, paying attention on using all the appropriate sensor.
On the base of what the sensors read, the system will analyse data and detect dangerous situations from which an attack could grow up. Plus, a connection will be established with a reliable weather forecast site, so that data on the external environment will be available too: thanks to that it will be possible to study suitable regulations to internal parameters even before the incoming of a wrong internal condition and useful tips on a right way to face internal and especially external issues will be given to the user in real time.
Reasoning is the most understandable theme. An intelligent system must elaborate the information and in order to do this it must have a reasoning part. Moreover it's very important that the device works proactively, so it must think what is better to do in many situations.
If a hot situation is detected during the reasoning phase the system will aim at adjusting the conditions of the room: temperature, humidity, air composition (pushing in fresh air from a safe source and pushing away the bad one). Operations connected with the regulation of environmental parameters will be done in advance of the incoming of a problem if climatic and external conditions will require it, in order to improve users comfort as much as possible. Finally, the system will be given some features it will exploit to communicate with the user in clear, fast and suitable ways every time something useful has to be notified.
A fundamental part of the system must be also the acting part. In fact the system must work ON the ambient or the user, and in order to do this independently it must have and acting part. We already mentioned the proative behavior in the reasoning theme: a system that can't work independently can't also do anything proactively.
The device can be used as a personal assistant which will transform the house in a safe area for everyone, especially for people with allergies. Why? The device will warn you if there is a dangerous situation, but there is more. In order to optimize its future behavior the device will ask you to judge its work through well focused questions and will try to adjust its functions in order to fulfill your desires.
Interacting is maybe the most critical aspect of an intelligent device. In fact there is a precise difference between automatic and intelligent. An automatic device works without taking cares of the input of the user. We don't want to create an automatic system, we want to build something that works FOR the user and so keeps in mind to listen the user's need.
With this four themes there are others, which describes how must be a well projected system.
When the world is filled with red lights signaling danger, the world is safer than usual. But when it's filled with green lights signaling safety, it creates a place more dangerous than anywhere.
