Abstract :
Weather monitoring is of great importance in many domains such as: agriculture, military, entertainment etc. There are several solutions for monitoring the weather. The classical solution consists in static weather stations. Another solution is based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The third solution uses low dimensions weather stations. This paper presents a weather station made of temperature, humidity, pressure and luminosity sensors embedded in a microcontroller based board. The station is controlled through the SMS service of mobile phones.
