This document summarizes Jabari Stegall's implementation of a smart home using a wireless sensor network. The study was supported by grants from NCSU and the NSF. The wireless sensor network consisted of ZigBee nodes connected to sensors to monitor events. The nodes sent sensor data to a gateway node connected to a laptop. Tests showed the sensors could successfully detect events and the network had minimal battery consumption. Potential applications of wireless sensor networks discussed include smart homes, health monitoring, industrial facilities, supply chain management, and smart grids.
