Abstract

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a well established protocol in network management. In order to apply this protocol in smart home environment, a proxy agent should be used. This proxy agent converts sensor readings to an SNMP compatible form. In this work LabVIEW toolkits are used to play this role. First by acquiring the sensors’ readings via multiple sub agents then sending them wirelessly to a single master agent through various approaches. The master agent completes the role of the proxy agent by storing these readings in a database file using LabVIEW database toolkits. This paper demonstrates a test bed representing this system is carried out and an SNMP software is used to monitor and control the sensors remotely. The results show that the proposed smart sending approach greatly reduced the amount of traffic needed.
