現階段校園照明設施係由人工進行巡查以進行必要之維護與管制。然而，照明設施遍及校園各建物，因此巡查非常耗時，也可能遺漏部分照明設備之檢查。本論文運用ZigBee無線感測網路結合網路技術，提出一個校園照明設備遠端監控系統架構，藉由無線感測網路可以即時地監測照明設備的狀態，進而可快速地派遣人員對異常設備進行維修；同時，本系統之遙控機制可透過網路進行照明設備之開關作業，可大幅減少人員巡查之時耗。相信本論文之研發成果可作為發展照明設備遠端監控系統之有用參考。
Currently, campus lighting facilities are patrolled by manpower for performing necessary control and maintenance. However, the lighting facilities are located throughout the campus buildings. Hence, the patrols are time-consuming, and the inspections of some lighting facilities may be passed by. Based on the ZigBee wireless sensor network (WSN) with networking technologies, a remote monitoring and control system architecture for campus lighting facilities is proposed in this paper. By ZigBee WSN, the statuses of lighting facilities can be monitored in real time such that the personnel in charge can be dispatched promptly to fix the abnormal facilities. Also, the remote control mechanism of the system allows the lighting facilities to be turned on/off through network, which can significantly reduce the time consumption of patrols. It is believed that the research results of the paper can be a useful reference for developing remote monitoring and control systems of lighting facilities.
