  • Hi Mr.Faludi
    I have your book about the wireless sensors networking and am interested to find out how and what type of zig-bee 1,11 mesh do utilizes companies use, can we just look at the usage of our consumption or its all encrypted? I like to make app that can sense and be connected over the cloud.
    Is there any product out there that can let us see how much power are we consuming by the kilowatt meter?

    • As you might imagine, the utility network is encrypted so that meter readings are secure. You would either need to know a pre-shared link key (PLK) or have an ECC (ecliptic curve cryptography) certificate provided to you by the utility or meter manufacturer. Companies like Tendril use these in their products, and participate with utilities to provide information to consumers.

  • Hi Sir
    I have looked at your soil moisture sensor that u posted sometime ago..i have built it and its working perfectly as supposed,now i want to send the output to a PIC for designing an automatic irrigation system,is there need for an analogue to digital converter in order to do this or the output voltage from the sensor can be put directly to the RF transmitter?? please help me i am stuck…

  • I am trying to use xbee direct feature to connect a sensor to a pc. I am using series 2 and have configured one as zigbee coordinator at and other as zigbee router at. I can chat using the two while connecting both through usb . However when i am connecting the router xbee to a sensor remotely with a breakout board on a breadboard and trying to obtain the data on the pc, i am failing. The RX light in the coordinator xbee is not even blinking. I cant understand what am i doing wrong. Please help me with this. Thnx in advance.
