Recent Success at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium

SMG is monitoring temperature and humidity in a cold corrosive environment. Wireless sensors were used because:

1. the exhibit could not be closed for cabling
2. the animals could not coexist with cables running through the exhibit
3. the sensor locations could change week to week.

The temperature is measured in 6 places including a sensor on
the roof for external temperature. We sample temperatures every 10 minutes and send the data via email to the zookeepers.

Warning messages are also generated and sent to the keeper's cell phones if specific user-defined conditions occur (i.e. exhibit internal temperature goes above 62 degrees F ).
