Wireless sensor networks (WSN) greatly extend our ability to monitor and control the physical world. It can collaborate
and aggregate a huge amount of sensed data to provide continuous and spatially dense observation of environment. The
control and monitoring of indoor atmosphere conditions represents an important task with the aim of ensuring suitable
working and living spaces to people. However, the comprehensive air quality, which includes monitoring of humidity,
temperature, gas concentrations, etc., is not so easy to be monitored and controlled. In this paper an indoor WSN
monitoring system was developed. In the system several sensors such as temperature sensor, humidity sensor, gases
sensor, were built in a RF transceiver board for monitoring indoor environment conditions. The indoor environmental
monitoring parameters can be transmitted by wireless to database server and then viewed throw PC or PDA accessed to
the local area networks by administrators. The system, which was also field-tested and showed a reliable and robust
characteristic, is significant and valuable to people.
