Abstract

This research highlights the importance of potentially using WSNs in real-world scenarios by employing low cost and scalable platforms. As WSNs increasingly used in many fields of applications such as automation, healthcare, and security, it is very crucial to understand the performance under different conditions of environment by employing low-cost platforms, especially in developed countries. Therefore, this study presents practical experiments to insight the efficiency and reliability of WSNs in monitoring dynamic changes in temperature, light, motion, and distance over the course of 24 hours. By leveraging a cost-effective and scalable setup involving Arduino, ZigBee and X-CTU software, this research demonstrates how WSNs can be optimized for diverse applications, paving the way for more robust and adaptable systems in the future. Furthermore, the findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on WSNs, offering a foundation for further innovation and development in this field.
