Analysis Of Three Iot-based Wireless Sensors For Environmental Monitoring

The recent changes in climate have increased the importance of environmental monitoring, making it a topical and highly active research area. This ?eld is based on remote sensing and wireless sensor networks for gathering data about the environment. Recent advancements, such as the vision of the Internet of Things (IoT), the cloud computing model, provide support for the transmission and management of huge amounts of data regarding the trends observed in environmental parameters. In this Project, the current work presents three different IoT-based wireless sensors for environmental and ambient monitoring: one employing User Datagram Protocol (UDP)-based Wi-Fi communication, one communicating through Wi-Fi and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and a third one using Bluetooth Smart. All of the presented systems provide the possibility of recording data at remote locations and of visualizing them from sensors node (gas, temperature, humidity sensor) Through GPRS, enabling the monitoring of geographically large areas. The development details of these systems are described, along with the major differences and similarities between them. The feasibility of the three developed systems for implementing monitoring applications, taking into account their energy autonomy, ease of use, solution complexity, and Internet connectivity facility, was analyzed and revealed that they make good candidates for IoT-based solutions
