MOSQ-charge: a smart mosquito repellent wireless charger
Publication Name
International Journal of Grid and Utility Computing
Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to revolutionise daily life by connecting various devices and enabling smart functionalities. However, a critical issue in this realm is the charging problem faced by mosquito repellent devices. This paper introduces MOSQ-Charge, a system that focuses on wirelessly charging smart mosquito repellents within an IoT framework. Comprising five key components, including a wireless charger, Smart IoT Gateway, cloud services, security algorithm, and device control application, MOSQ-Charge aims to enhance home automation by addressing the charging concerns of mosquito repellent devices. The system utilises sensors to monitor battery levels, cloud services for data storage, and an IoT connectivity protocol named MQTT to link gateways to the cloud server. By designing and deploying a successful wireless charging setup for MOSQ-Charge, this research contributes to controlling mosquito-borne diseases and advancing IoT-based home automation.
