Sensor networks which have also come up with various applications like surveillance, traffic control, environmental and wildlife monitoring, agricultural application, home automation and industrial process control. Embedded controlled sensor networks (ECSN) are mainly designed to be application- specific so that the energy consumption is minimum as the battery-powered nodes demand life-time of several months or even a few years. The architecture of a typical embedded controlled sensor network is embedded controlled sensor network the available technologies are Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, wireless mobile Ad- hoc network (WMANET), UMB, wireless HART, Bluetooth and ZigBee. Embedded sensor networks are formed by communicating over wireless links without using a fixed networked infrastructure controlled by microcontroller. Zigbee is the name for a short-range, low-power, low-cost, and low-data-rate wireless multi-hop networking technology. Block diagram of ECSN consists of a master/ circuit which is connected to number of sub networks consisting of the various slaves. Master circuit is connected by a personal computer which can be controlled by the internet. Wireless technologies for environmental monitoring and device control in homes offers many benefits to the users.
