Ambient Monitoring using WSN for Indoor Spaces

Abstract

This paper describes implementation of a compact self-charging and reliable ambient monitoring system using existing micro controllers and sensors for the sake of power saving, cost reduction and live monitoring. The proposed system monitors ambient light intensity, humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide level and absolute pressure of indoor spaces and provides feedback to control use of light and reduce energy consumption of air conditioners and other comfort making electronic devices. It uses any preferred wireless communication media and most power efficient and low cost Thread protocol for remotely controlling and gathering sensed data. This covers some of the drawbacks and future implementation of existing papers.
