Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used in several applications such as data acquisition, monitoring and controlling various parameters. In wired system of sensing the parameters, there is a complexity of installation, problem of space, weight and huge power requirement. Measurement of temperature parameter becomes critically important because of increasing controllable compliance needs in Thermal Plants. Wired system of measuring the temperature parameter of remote places is not that much efficient as the wireless system. Main purpose is to create a system that can autonomously administer the correct data of temperature of different remote places simultaneously in real time. Basically, this paper is written for the measurement of the ambient temperature using wireless technique, which will be a prototype set up for future high temperature measurement. Due to invention of Micro-Electro Mechanical systems (MEMS) technology tiny Wireless modules are nowadays employed at remote places for measurement of temperature parameter. This paper establishes the use of wireless sensor network (WSN) technology for measuring, monitoring and data storing of temperature using Arduino microcontroller, Xbee pro, LM35 temperature sensor and PC. Real time temperature is recorded.
