Types of sensors used in the WSN deployed at the IfM building

Sensor type	Locations	Function
Temperature	Lecture theatres, seminar rooms, meeting rooms and plantroom	Measures indoor room temperature.
Humidity	Lecture theatres, seminar rooms, meeting rooms and plantroom	Measures relative air humidity.
Motion detection	Lecture theatres, seminar rooms and meeting rooms	Detects motion (e.g. detects whether anyone is present in the room).
Light meter	Lecture theatres and seminar rooms	Tracks light level in the environment.
Open/ closed	Meeting rooms	Detects whether a door or a window is opened or closed.
Carbon monoxide	Surrounding of the biomass boiler	Measures carbon monoxide gas level in the air.
Vibration count	Surface of the milling machines, lathes, pumps and robotic arms	Measures the number of vibrations of a component above a predefined threshold.
AC current meter	Lathes and robotic arms	Measures amp hours, maximum RMS current, minimum RMS current and average RMS current used by the equipment.
