Urban Microclimate Monitoring Using IoT-Based Architecture

In this chapter, various aspects related to Internet of Things (IoT) based sensor node development for urban microclimate monitoring are presented. The discussion is focused on software development, relevant methodologies, hardware modules, and platforms. A typical sensor node consists of sensors, computing/controlling unit, and a communication unit. There is a large variety of environmental sensors (temperature, wind, humidity, etc.), computing units (single-board computers and microcontrollers), and communication units. With the rise of Internet-enabled devices, the ideas of IoT are being incorporated into sensor node development.
