Smart Sensor Framework: A Pressure Sensor for Smart Home Applications

摘要: Smart home automation applications require a dense information network for proper func-tionality. Air-conditioning or filtration systems, example, must detect airflows caused by openwindows and doors. An unambiguous detection of such can be performed distributedsensor network. Current off-the-shelf sensors often lack processing communication units, resulting in large design assembly discrete integrated circuits (ICs) on one printed circuit board (PCB)that requires additional power supply. Distributing designs within without interferingwith the existing surroundings proves to difficult terms acceptance usability. This paperpresents solution offering an that includes microelectromechanical system(MEMS) pressure sensor element along with analog digital converter (ADC) customizableand programmable unit. The integration leads smaller overall footprint reducedpower consumption, which positively affects rate distributed smart networksfor automation. Clear interfaces between components ensure extensible adaptablesystem suitable further applications, framework.
