TY - JOUR AU - AB - Yesufu, T.K. and Kehinde, L.O. (2019) The development of energy and cost efficient IoT nodes is very important for Development of Power Consumption Models for ESP8266-Enabled Low-Cost IoT the successful deployment of IoT solutions across various application do- Monitoring Nodes.

This paper presents energy models, which will enable the estimation Things, 9, 1-14. of battery life, for both time-based and event-based low-cost IoT monitoring https://doi.org/10.4236/ait.2019.91001 nodes. These nodes are based on the low-cost ESP8266 (ESP) modules which Received: January 2, 2019 integrate both transceiver and microcontroller on a single small-size chip and Accepted: January 28, 2019 only cost about $2. The active/sleep energy saving approach was used in the Published: January 31, 2019 design of the IoT monitoring nodes because the power consumption of ESP modules is relatively high and often impacts negatively on the cost of operat- Copyright © 2019 by author(s) and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. ing the nodes.
