Summary:The Internet of Things(IoT) and Smart Grid are of great importance in promoting and guiding development of information technology and economic. At Present, the application of the IoT develops rapidly, but due to the special requirements of some applications, the existing technology can not meet them very good. Much research work is doing to build IoT. WiFi-based Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) has the features of high bandwidth and rate, non-line-transmission ability, large-scale data collection and high cost-effective, and it has the capability of video monitoring, which can not be realized with ZigBee. The research on WiFi-based WSN and its application has high practical significance to the development of the Internet of Things and Smart Grid. Based on the current research work of applications in the Internet of Things and the characteristics of WiFi-based WSN, this paper discusses the application of WiFi-based WSN in Internet of Things, which includes Smart Grid, Smart Agriculture and Intelligent environment protection.
