Detect the status of an appliance
Detection software: continuously evaluate whether the load is active or
not
Interrupt: every 500ms
Active: 10 external interrupts occur within 500ms.
External interrupt
Receive timer generated interrupt
Count numbers of current pulses
If number of current pulses
is greater than 10
Set activity variable low
Set activity variable high
Restart the timer and clear the current pulses count

Design of the Central Controller Unit(CCU)
Similar to the SU(Sensor Unit)
LED: 1 indicate the power to the CCU is on
2 show that the CCU is in transmit mode
3 indicate that the CCU is in receive mode
RS232: 115200bauds (115200bps)

Radio Frequency Communication protocol
All the sensor units communicate with the central controller unit on the s
ame frequency
Method: the sensors will respond only when told to do so.
PC requests data from a particular sensor
PC
PC receives the data from the specified sensor
Central Unit
Controller initializes the particular sensor
Controller interprets the data and relays it to the PC
Sensor Unit
Sensor responds with the activity data
