WSN is a cluster of wireless nodes which act as sensor or actuator interface and is spread over an area. There are few nodes called Co-ordinators ( Routers in our case ) which are used to control and manage the Network. You can command each node to be a sensor or actuator in our case and we have a free API ( AT command based ) which allow you to do the same.
The goal of this project is provide complete software protocol stack and hardware platform to the user with maximum configure options and at very affordable price.
Use Cases:
General Home / Office Automation : Internet of things
Habitat Monitoring : Hook up sensors and sense environmental parameters of your home or your pets home .
Security : Hook up a PIR sensor , or a Contact Sensor to your Doors , Windows and get alerts whenever there is movement in your monitored place or opening/closing of Doors.
Robotics : Wireless Remote control toys !!!!!!!
An Ideal Server for the Dustmotes is the Raspberry Pi. Plus the router to the USB port , Put it safe somewhere , and plug in our Raspbian Image. You’ll get an instant access through apps to all your Nodes/Motes! Zero-Coding Too !
For the Code Lovers:
What is the AT Command API ?
The API is accessible over the USB-serial port in Windows, Linux and Mac. You will need Putty in Windows or similar , Cutecom in Linux to be able to access the serial port directly. If you are a Web Developer and want to code in HTML5 and Javascript , no worries! We have tested full functionality with Nodejs with the serialport module. Do you like JSON ? We like it too , hence the API responds in JSON!! Please read this document for more information. AT Command Usage Example : [Responses Suppressed]
$$$ //Go To Command Mode
ATCN 31 //Connect to Node 31
ATAC 1 //Turn it ‘ON’
ATND //Get out of Command Mode
What is the REST API ?
So, say you want a REST API, no sweat! Hook up our Router to a Raspberry Pi and download our Raspbian Image with all the right stuff setup . Burn it to a SD card and you have a WiFi Hotspot called “Dustmotes”. Connect to it and you will get the REST API access.
