在智能城市和家庭应用中，随着时间的推移，使用无线传感器网络提取环境数据变得越来越普遍。这些传感器用于广泛的应用，但主要用于管理家庭建筑的能源消耗。家庭中的主要能源消费者之一是供暖系统。为了监测它们，传感器与ZigBee等无线通信协议一起使用，以将数据传输到中央处理单元（CPU）。相反，WiFi通信由于其高能耗而在这些实现中很少见到，尽管几乎在每个家庭中都可以找到这样的网络。然而，随着物联网（IoT）的出现，该标准出现了新的修订版，使该技术能够用于无线传感。为了验证这一理论，并填补技术的必要性，提出了这一建议。在这项工作中，自主WiFi传感器的设计和实现，与热电能量收集配对，作为用于监测加热设备的物联网解决方案。为此，提出了一个彻底的分析所提出的架构。完成了关于能源消耗和发电、效率以及真实的世界场景试验的测试。最后，所获得的结果和当前的实现之间的比较。
In smart cities and home applications, the use of Wireless Sensor Networks to extract environmental data becomes more common with the passing of time. These sensors are used for a wide array of applications, but mainly to manage energy consumption in domestic buildings. One of the key energy consumers in households is heating systems. To monitor them, sensors are used with wireless communication protocols, like ZigBee, to transmit data to a central processing unit (CPU). WiFi communications, on the contrary, are rarely seen in these implementations due to its high energy consumption, although almost in every home one can find such networks. Yet, with the Internet of Things (IoT), new revisions of the standard have arisen which enable this technology for wireless sensing. To validate this theory and fill a technological necessity, this proposal is presented. In this work, the design and implementation of an autonomous WiFi sensor, paired with thermoelectric energy harvesting, are presented as an IoT solution for monitoring heating devices. For this, a thorough analysis of the proposed architecture is presented. Tests regarding energy consumption and generation, efficiency, and real world scenario trials are done. Finalizing, a comparison between the obtained results and current implementations is shown.
