Popis: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used in enormous applications with different aspects of modern life due to the extensive services that shorten the time and reduce the effort with lower cost. Optimum design leads to better performance, low cost and long network lifetime. The aim of this paper is to design hardware and implements a flexible and active WSN depending on Arduino Uno and ZigBee for controlling and communication respectively. The designed network contains three sensors (lighting, temperature and gas) have been adopted as a sample of sensors for this network. It has been experimented a multi-hope network to get an efficient coverage for target building and can be an extension for a large area. Also, the proposed network is flexible in responding to the user's desire to get the information on his request or at selected times by the user, or in the case of an emergency to achieve full controlling of the facility which is under probation. The results confirm that the proposed network gives the best performance for three cases; first when the user need show the building environment at any time in addition to checking the network activity. Second, the results show that the network is records the reading of all sensors at a regular period to show the overall daily and weekly cases of an area under control. Third, the user can set various thresholds values, to adapt the work of the network to shoot an alarm or enable self-protection devices.
