1. System Assumptions

SA-01: Deployment Environment

  • The Sensor Hub operates in an indoor poultry farm environment.

  • Environmental conditions may include high humidity, dust, and ammonia presence.

SA-02: Power Availability

  • The Sensor Hub is assumed to have continuous power.

  • Short power interruptions may occur; system shall recover gracefully.

SA-03: Network Connectivity

  • Wireless connectivity to the Main Hub may be intermittent.

  • The Sensor Hub shall operate autonomously when disconnected.

SA-04: Trusted Provisioning

  • Devices are assumed to be provisioned securely during manufacturing or installation.

  • Cryptographic keys are assumed to be injected via a secure process.

SA-05: Time Synchronization

  • System time is assumed to be synchronized periodically by the Main Hub.

  • Temporary time drift is acceptable.

2. System Limitations

SL-01: Local Processing Limits

  • The Sensor Hub performs lightweight preprocessing only.

  • Complex analytics and AI models are out of scope.

SL-02: User Interface Constraints

  • The OLED display is intended for monitoring and diagnostics only.

  • It is not a full configuration or management interface.

SL-03: Physical Security

  • The Sensor Hub does not include physical tamper detection.

  • Physical access is assumed to be restricted.

SL-04: Storage Constraints

  • SD card storage capacity is finite.

  • Data retention policies may result in data overwrite.

SL-05: Safety Classification

  • The system is not classified as a safety-critical life-support system.

  • Failures may impact farm performance but not human safety directly.

3. External Dependencies

  • ESP32-S3 hardware platform

  • ESP-IDF framework

  • Supported sensors and communication modules

  • Main Hub availability for OTA and configuration updates
