Abstract
In some examples, a central hub receives, from a sensor node that is mounted to a wood item inside a wall of a building, a notification including sensor data. The sensor data includes: an ambient temperature inside the wall of the building, an ambient humidity inside the wall of the building, a resistance of the wood item between two metal fasteners used to fasten the sensor node to the wood item, and audio data captured by a microphone of the sensor node that is coupled to the wood item. The hub performs an analysis of the sensor data using an artificial intelligence algorithm. After determining, based on the analysis, a presence of a pest in the wood item, the hub sends a message indicating the presence of the pest to a computing device.
