Smart homes and workplaces can aid people in living and working more comfortably with WSNs. Sensors, microcontroller, radio, and antenna are used in these applications to regularly detect, data from a dispersed network of low-power, low-cost, highly energy-efficient electronic platforms to a distant host station for pre-processing and transmission.
Users can benefit from supported living and working environments provided by smart homes/offices based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The dispersed network nodes in these applications are low-power, low-cost, high-energy-efficient electronic platforms containing sensors, microcontrollers, radios, and antennas that can sense, receive, store, pre-process, and broadcast environmental data to a remote host station on a regular basis.
To address future Internet-of-things (IoT) application requirements, an integrated photovoltaic panel with a rechargeable battery and a power-efficient architecture is provided, which necessitates a large number of interconnected wireless networks being designed and implemented to be energetically self-sufficient.
