design project
« on: November 01, 2009, 03:47:00 PM »
Hello, my name is Culainn Boland Shanahan
I am a student studying Industrial design and technology
At Brunel University, West London.

At the moment I am working on a product for an Audi design project.
The group I am working with and I have proposed a design of a sensor that detects
The light that enters a room and changes the artificial light dependant on that sunlight.
This will ensure a constant level of lighting.

This also means less energy will be used on lighting the room when the sun comes out helping to lower energy consumption in each household.

We have decided that this design needs to have a wireless technology in its construction and were hoping that you could provide some additional information that could help us with this

The sensor needs to be
-   Able to span a distance of around 5 meters from transmitter to receiver
-   Be able to be constructed within a university lab
-   As small as possible
-   Compliant with an LDR
-   Able to send out constant waves of information.

If you could please email me back at [email protected] with some useful information about wireless transmitters and receivers or refer me to a journal or another specialist it would be gratefully appreciated.

Yours sincerely
Culainn Boland Shanahan

The application is right in line the what the ZigBee protocol is about. Check with the ZigBee alliance:

I think there is a profile already defined for light control.

An easy to use off the shelf ZigBee transceiver is sold by Digi International.
