Abstract
This chapter proposes an alternative approach that utilizes the existing infrastructures of social network service (SNS) Sina Weibo in China and its open platform resource in order to integrate a wireless sensor network (WSN) into the web, offering social status in WSN. As a case study, a home environment monitoring system employing our proposal method has been developed. Experiment results show that this system can reduce the burden of the implementation and management of WSN and the proposed approach is feasible, cost-effective, and flexible for exploiting a SNS-based WSN quickly.
