Abstract
A method, a computing system and a computer program product are provided for utilizing supplemental sensors to monitor conditions of an area employing a sensor network. One or more supplemental sensors that are external to the sensor network are detected in an area. The one or more supplemental sensors are added to the sensor network. Readings pertaining to the conditions of the area are retrieved from the detected one or more supplemental sensors and one or more first sensors included in the sensor network. The readings of the one or more supplemental sensors and the one or more first sensors are compared and a resulting condition of the area is determined based on the comparing.
