This work presents the design and evaluation of the
REAM (Remote Electricity Actuation and Monitoring) node
based around the modular Tyndall Mote platform. The REAM
node enables the user to remotely actuate power to a mains
power extension board while sampling the current, voltage,
power and power factor of the attached load. The node contains a current transformer interfaced to an Energy Metering IC which continuously samples current and voltage. These values are periodically read from the part by a PIC24 microcontroller, which calculates the RMS current and voltage, power factor and overall power. The resultant values can then be queried wirelessly employing the Tyndall 802.15.4 compliant wireless module.
