The temperature, humidity, solar radiation, air flow and air pressure detected by the temperature sensor 8b, the humidity sensor 8c, the solar radiation sensor 8d, the air flow sensor 8e, and the air pressure sensor 8f are also reported indoors by the same mechanism. Each notification method can be appropriately selected.

In addition to notifying the outdoor environment information determined based on one outdoor information, the indoor control unit 1
In step 3, a combination of a plurality of outdoor information items can be used to determine and notify the laundry index, the current weather, or the future weather. First, a method of calculating the washing index will be described. Outdoor temperature detected by the temperature sensor 8b, the humidity sensor 8c, the solar radiation sensor 8d, and the air flow sensor 8e;
Estimate the equilibrium moisture content of the day from humidity, solar radiation and air flow,
By converting the value into an index, a washing index is calculated.
Note that the equilibrium moisture content is the proportion of moisture contained in the laundry when the laundry still contains moisture but cannot be dried any more.

A method for determining the current weather will be described.
The reference data of the weather, in which all the conditions of temperature, humidity, air pressure, solar radiation and air flow are combined, is stored in the memory of the indoor control unit 13 in advance, and the weather reference data and the temperature sensor 8b, the humidity sensor 8c, and the atmospheric pressure are stored. The determination is made by collating the outdoor temperature, humidity, pressure, solar radiation, and air flow detected by the sensor 8f, the solar radiation sensor 8d, and the air flow sensor 8e. For example, when the temperature, the atmospheric pressure, and the amount of solar radiation are higher than the specified values and the humidity is lower than the specified values, it is determined that the weather is fine. When the temperature, the humidity, the atmospheric pressure, and the amount of solar radiation are lower than specified values, it is determined to be "cloudy". If the temperature, the atmospheric pressure, and the amount of solar radiation are lower than the specified values and the humidity is higher than the specified values, it is determined to be “rain”. As the weather reference data, it is preferable to use data corresponding to the weather tendency specific to the area.

A method for predicting the future weather will be described.
A program for predicting the future weather by fuzzy processing based on the correlation between the time series changes of the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, solar radiation amount and wind volume and the weather is stored in the indoor control unit 13 in advance. Temperature sensor 8b, humidity sensor 8
c, the indoor controller 13 stores the outdoor temperature, humidity, pressure, solar radiation, and air flow detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor 8f, the solar radiation sensor 8d, and the air flow sensor 8e. The time series change of each information is calculated from the accumulated data, and the future weather is predicted according to a program for predicting the future weather.

In general, if the time series change of the temperature, the atmospheric pressure or the amount of solar radiation increases, the weather tends to recover, and if the change decreases, the weather worsens. If the time series change in humidity or air flow increases, the weather tends to deteriorate, and if the change decreases, the weather recovers. The prediction of future weather is determined comprehensively by combining these. For example, if the time series changes of temperature, atmospheric pressure and solar radiation are in the increasing direction, and the time series changes of humidity and air volume are in the decreasing direction,
Judge as "sunny". If the time-series changes in temperature, atmospheric pressure and solar radiation are in the decreasing direction, and the time-series changes in humidity and airflow are in the increasing direction, it is judged as "rain", and if the temperature decrease is large, "snow" Is determined. If the temperature and the amount of solar radiation are in the decreasing direction and the humidity is in the increasing direction, but the atmospheric pressure does not decrease, it is determined to be "cloudy". The temperature,
Since the humidity, the atmospheric pressure, the amount of solar radiation, and the amount of air flow naturally change over time in one day, the time of measurement by each sensor may be used as a judgment material.
