Wireless sensor network: control and power monitoring

Abstract

The first goal of this project was to build a wireless sensor network of smartplugs which can measure the energy consumption of an appliance and send it through the network to a remote data base using IEEE 802.15.4, 6LoWPAN, IPv6, RPL, UDP and CoAP protocols. The data received and stored should be shown in a graphic in order to see the evolution of the energy consumption. The second goal was to control the WSN’s devices remotely, particularly the relay (actuator) of each smartplug which is the responsible of switching on/off the appliance.Agencia Nacional de Investigación e Innovació
