NOTE: THIS MODULE WORKS ONLY WITH WASPMOTE
The Bluetooth 4.0 standard, also known as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), is a new short range radio technology, optimized for ultra low power applications. It is different from Bluetooth classic (BR/EDR), but with same benefits like robustness, interoperability, royalty free or connectivity with smart phones and PCs.
Waspmote is an open source wireless sensor platform specially focused on the implementation of low consumption modes which allows the sensor nodes ("motes") to be completely autonomous, that is battery powered. Lifetime of Waspmote sensor nodes may go from 1 to 5 years depending on the duty cycle and the radio used.
Waspmote is based on a modular architecture. The idea is to integrate only the modules needed in each device optimizing costs. For this reason all the modules (radios, sensor boards, etc) plug in Waspmote through sockets.
XBee ZB embedded RF modules provide cost-effective wireless connectivity to devices in ZigBee mesh networks. UFL Antenna Module
You will need batteries to use Waspmote as an autonomous device.
