Hamilton: a cost-effective, low power networked sensor for indoor environment monitoring

Published: 08 November 2017 Publication History

Abstract

Operating buildings can be challenging, especially with poor instrumentation of the indoor environment. There are several wireless sensor platforms on the market but most are too difficult to deploy en-masse, requiring the end-user to program devices, or manage infrastructure. Many rely on smart-phones and do not work when unattended. The Hamilton wireless sensor node is a full-stack solution providing a low-cost and low-power high-resolution sensor that operates for more than five years on a battery, along with all the cloud infrastructure required to interact with the data. It is pre-programmed and ready to use, but the firmware can be easily modified by using the standard C language.
