Applying Zigbee and OSGi on a Wireless Indoor Temperature Remote Monitoring System

[[abstract]]近十年來居家照護、智慧家庭這個名詞已被討論得相當頻繁，此為利用生活中的家用設備透過無線感測網路(WSN)搜集人們的活動模式和周遭環境訊息，達到遠端監控的目的。早期佈建方式大都以有線的線路為主，且設備昂貴，降低一般家庭的安裝意願。隨著無線通訊技術和微型處理器的精進發展，具備無線通訊功能及計算功能的智慧感測器等的消費性電子產品也因應而生，能夠實現在任何時間、地點提供使用者所需資訊與服務，且具有低成本和容易佈建等特性，較符合一般家庭的使用。本論文主要研究使用具有ZigBee無線感測網路(WSN)技術之設備建立一個對室內空間的溫度作無線溫度感測監測之應用。將欲監測環境的溫度狀態資料整合在OSGi服務平台，OSGi具處理溫度資料的服務，透過網際網路將溫度資料傳送至遠端伺服器庫，並善用這些資料提供溫度查詢網頁，讓使用者隨即獲得與掌握所需資訊，加強室內監護的品質。基於上述，發展一套低成本、容易佈建的遠端監測溫度之系統。[[abstract]]Wireless Home Care System and Smart Home have been frequently discussed in the last decade These systems collect data on human physiological activities and human living environments through wireless sensor networks (WSN) installed on household appliances In early days these systems are mainly constructed with wires and expensive equipments; therefore lowering customers’ willingness to use However the advanced development of wireless telecommunication technologies and micro-processors gave birth to consumer electronic products equipped with wireless communication and computing capabilities which can provide user with desired information and services without the limit of time and space ZigBee is a wireless mesh network standard applied in sensor transmission With the characteristics of low-power consumption low transmission rate and low cost the easily-built ZigBee application can meet the demand of common families This paper developed a wireless home temperature remote monitoring system by applying ZigBee wireless sensor networks (WSN) The proposed system was integrated with OSGi service platform and reported the monitored temperature data on that platform The temperature data transmitted with the Internet to sever database and create a website combined with the temperature data to provide users with desired information at any time thus improve the quality of home monitoring Based on the above goal this paper developed a suite of system which have characteristics of the low cost easily-built and can remote monitoring temperature
