Problem statement

Fresh air — an indulgence most often experienced going outside, but can also be achieved through opening a window; however, not everyone is capable of opening a window. For someone who is disabled or elderly this task can prove to be very difficult due to limited mobility. Currently there are two devices that can be purchased, both are expensive and use destructive methods to mount to the window. Our goal is to enable consumers to automatically open their windows by simply pushing a button. The device we construct will be inexpensive and will not damage the window or surrounding area when deployed. The development of this device will open the window to new possibilities in smart home control.
