Applications of wireless sensor network for monitoring system based on IOT

A number of ZigBee based monitoring systems are built on the basis of IOT technology in this work on the perception layer, using temperature/humidity sensors, light sensors and 3-axis accelerometer modules. Wirelessly transmitted to a monitoring center, all the sensed data are collected by a human computer interface. On the application layer in an IOT, simulation experiments are conducted, namely, applications of light sensors to an automated basketball court lighting system, 3-axis accelerometer modules to the monitoring of infant's sleeping posture and accidental fall of the elderly, and temperature/humidity sensors to thermal comfort testing. This research work is validated as an effective way to achieve the aim of power consumption reduction, improve the health care quality and provide a higher comfort level.
