Wireless Sensing and Controlling System using Zigbee

Abstract

This article discusses the use of technology for electrical power management. The Zigbee devices are applied to control turning on/off electrical power through a wireless technology according to IEEE 802.15.4 standard for the remote device control. These Zigbee devices have a benefit in saving electrical power. However, these devices do not have an ability to verify that at any time equipment is in use or not. In addition, the use of this wireless communication technology consumes high power and if applied to systems it will be very complicated and high cost as well. The concept of wireless sensor technology applications includes ZigBee technology which is IEEE802.15.4 standard offering benefits in the term of low cost and energy saving. The system is easy to be installed and maintained with operational details and can be applied to control electrical devices. Applications are limited based on distances and environments but can be connected to be a larger network system.
