ABSTRACT
Wireless Sensor Network is increasingly popular in the field of
microclimate monitoring due to its promising capability. Wireless
Sensor Network using many wireless communication protocols, such
as Bluetooth, ZigBee, ultra wideband, and WiFi. WiFi has many
advantages, i.e. high data rate and long range distances, but it
requires a high power. ZigBee uses less power, but it offers low
data rate and short range distances. This paper presents the
application of ZigBee and WiFi networks for microclimate
monitoring. Data of air temperature and humidity are collected
using ZigBee-WSN and then the data are transmitted from the
observed area to the monitoring center using WiFi transceiver This
system needs ZigBee – WiFi interface that convert the data format
from ZigBee protocol into TCP/IP protocol. Maximum distance
communication of ZigBee protocol is ± 200m in the outdoor area
with many obstacles.

• Mesh Coordinator: An entity that manages the
mesh network. It refers to the root of the logical
tree of a mesh network whose tree level equals
zero.
• End Device: A device that is not capable of
relaying data frames for other devices.
• Consider WiFi as a Mesh/Network Coordinator.
• Zigbee as a Coordinator.
• Sensor act as End device.

Channels
• 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n)
• 13+1channels designated in the 2.4G Hz range
spaced5MHz apart(with the exception of a 12MHz
spacing before Channel14).
• Using only channels1,6,11,and 14 is
recommended to avoid interference

• The first part ZigBee (Z-WSN) that consist five
sensor nodes, the second part is the design of
ZigBee
• Data of air temperature and humidity are
collected using ZigBee-WSN and then the data
are transmitted from the observed area to the
monitoring center using WiFi transceiver. This
system needs ZigBee–WiFi interface that convert
the data format from ZigBee protocol into TCP/IP
protocol.

CONCLUSIONS
Network which has been designed is work properly where
ZigBee Wireless Sensor Networks can collect the data of
air temperature and humidity from certain area, air
temperature sensors Using mesh topology, when one of
the node is off, then the others nodes can still sent the
data. Data from Z-WSN then convert to TCP/IP format
using ZigBee and WiFi interface. Finally, the data sent
from monitored area to the monitoring center using WiFi
transceiver based on point to point communication.
Maximum distance communication of ZigBee protocol is ±
200m in the outdoor area with many obstacles.
