Description
Summary:In recent years, Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is considered as a potential solution for home automation because of its reliability, low-cost, low-power consuming characteristics. Several researches have been carried out using WSN for home automation, however most studies have been experimented in small houses or in one storey of a building. There has been little discussion about design and implementation of WSN automation system in multi-storey buildings. This paper describes a practical design and implementation of WSN for controlling and monitoring system in multi-storey building. A building automation system using Micochip ZigBee WSN was developed and set up in the International University (IU) building for system evaluation. The performance results confirm that Micochip ZigBee WSN based home automation system is practically applicable in multi-storey building environment.
