In development: These pages are very much in development and need much work - send any suggestions to us on the normal channels!

Project Scope

To design an environmental monitoring system that can be used in rooms and data racks to monitor and alert the temperature, power and other environmental attributes using one or more USB powered environment sensors that are extremely inexpensive and flexible in configuration. The system will consist of nodes and a central server task that stores and displays historical data and provides alerting capabilities.

Considerations

  • The max number of sensor nodes in a system
  • Power availability and consumption
  • Method of communication (Wifi, Bluetooth, LoRaWAN, Zigbee etc.)
  • Wireless Range
  • Reliability
  • Update/refresh frequency
  • Cost
  • Number of sensors on each node
  • Software updates
