Abstract

See full text

In some examples, a sensor node mounted to a wood item inside a wall of a building uses a thermometer to measure an ambient temperature and uses a hygrometer to measure an ambient humidity inside the wall of the building. The sensor node uses an ohmmeter to measure a resistance of the wood item between two metal fasteners used to mount the sensor node to the wood item. The sensor node determines a moisture content of the wood item based on the resistance. If the sensor node determines, based on the ambient temperature, the ambient humidity, and the moisture content, that conditions inside the wall of the building are conducive to pest activity, then the sensor node captures, using a microphone that is coupled to the wood item, audio data. The sensor node sends a notification of pest activity to a central bub for analysis using artificial intelligence.
