Wireless Sensor Network for Monitoring Applied Physical Variables

Abstract

This article reports an array of wireless sensors connected to a network to monitor physical variables; environment temperature, soil humidity and environment humidity applied to the internet of things. The use of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has a promising future due to current technical advances and its almost unlimited applications. In this paper WSN topologies, measurement methodology, sensor distribution and visualization of recorded data are proposed based on the monitoring area, the communication protocol established by Wi-Fi and the readings of the environmental temperature (ET), environmental humidity (EH) and ground humidity (GH) are recorded and displayed on the web. In this experimental monitoring of environmental physical conditions, a record is made every hour during a period of 24 hours. Some of the potential applications for this remote measurement technique are the green technologies, industrial processes, internet of things, among others.
