Abstract:
-Weather monitoring systems are very useful especially these times where weather is unpredictable. Weather analysis must always be present from time to time. The weather monitoring system used by our country makes use of solar panels to power up the system. It sends data read by each node thru SMS. A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) was made to address these concerns. The WSN is powered-up by two energy-scavenging sources – piezoelectric transducers and solar cells. Each sensor node is comprised of energy scavengers, microcontroller, temperature and relative humidity sensors and Zigbee. The readings of each sensor nodes, that is properly scheduled, will be sent to the base station. The base station is the interface between the hardware and the software. The data received will be logged by a program developed using LabVIEW. Later on, these data would be sent through a GSM Module and will be published in the Web.
