Abstract:
Wireless Sensor Network gateways are key components to connect smart environments with Internet of Things and to support Wireless Sensor Network applications. With regard to the increasing amount of smart devices, communicating with each other in Home area networks or over the Internet, low cost and low power devices are desirable. In this paper, we present such a low cost and low power gateway and system architecture with an example application in the Smart Home environment to control smart devices with a mobile application. We show an easy way to use low cost and low power hardware to expand the existing home network just with an USB-Stick without any extra power supply. The gateway we developed needs only 0.3 % of the average power consumption of the used network router.
