INTRODUCTION To expand Arduino's capabilities by adding an 802.15.4 wireless module(XBee module)in order to expose its functionality as a Web of Things node.

To make a heterogeneous network interoperate.

The implementation of a network stack for the 4 most representativehardware platforms, as used by the relevant research community(Arduino, SunSPOT, TelosB, iSense), in the form of a software library, named mkSense, which enables their intercommunication.

MOTIVATION AND MAIN GOAL

Check the

presence of

persons in a room

Detect weather a man is on the

desk or foot

Controlling the lights of

the room

Sensing the light levels in

the room

iSense

Arduino: Arduino with XBee module for controlling custom electric circuits (HVAC, lighting).

Arduinos for physically controlling the lights via added relays, and for the proximity sensors used in each desk todetermine the presence of a sitting person.

Arduino hardware is programmed using a Wiring [3] based language, similar to C++ with some simplifications.

SunSPOT: It has great computational power.

It is for decision making and manually controlling the lights.

SunSPOT was implemented in Java J2ME

iSense: Limited power consumption.

iSense modules because of their easy to use PIR sensor.

TelosB: Limited power consumption.

It helps to communicate between SunSPOT and iSense.

TelosB motes were running the TinyOS version2.1.0[20]

XBee:

IEEE 802.15.4[12]compliant module.

With the help of this Arduino can operate as a Smart Object and expose its functionality in the Web of Things.

PROPOSED NETWORK

The main services provided by yhis interface are:

• Registration: Smart Objects register by providing their Mac-Address.

• Data collection: the Controller directly requests for specific data from the sensors

in the network.

• Service request: the Controller requests to be notified when special events occur

on the network,

for example temperature outreached a specified threshold.

• Action request: the Controller orders the devices toper- form some kind of action

CONCLUSION In this paper, how to expand the Arduino's capabilities by adding an 802.15. 4 compliant module had been described in order to use it as a Web of Things node.

The process of using it in order to build a platform-agnostic heterogeneous wireless sensor network.

All of the necessary steps have been described to make a heterogeneous network interoperate and the implementation of a network stack.

In addition, the design and implementation of software library have been described which can be used for building “intelligent software” for the Web of Things.

To demonstrate the applicability of this platform two representative has been presented, use cases scenarios that illustrate how this infrastructure can be used.
