Industrialised, Integrated, Intelligent sustainable Construction - I3con

HANDBOOK 2 SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION
The application adheres to a REST-style URL hierarchy for browsing the WSN, so for example to
view details of the temperature sensor on mote 1, gateway 4 the URL is:
http://:/i3con-manager/REST/gateways/4/motes/1/sensors/Temperature.html
This convention enables URLs to be entered manually in order to directly view details of a particular
part of the WSN. The application also exposes the same data in an XML format, which is accessed by
removing the .html extension from the end of the URL. Some examples are shown in Figure 4.

WSN Health Display
To view possible problems in the WSN that could affect the operation of WSN monitoring for
building management purposes, the user must select the WSN Health option from the menu. If the
application is actively busy checking the health of the WSN, a page will be displayed to indicate that
the application is busy. The display will automatically be refreshed to display the results when they
become available. If the application is not actively checking the health of the WSN the results of the
last check will be displayed immediately. An example is shown in Figure 5.
