Environmental Monitoring based on Wireless Sensor Network via Mobile Phone

Preventive conservation of artwork is a vital issue for museums. Therefore, it is fundamental to continuously monitor its environment. To accomplish this, the WISE-MUSE project proposes the use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for monitoring and automatically control museums' environment and structural health. The deployment of a Wireless Sensor Network can help to implement these measurements continuously, in a real-time basis, and in a much easier and cheaper way than when using traditional measuring equipments and procedures. Nevertheless, continuous monitoring implies that the persons in charge for the museum must be immediately informed of any abnormal value detected in its environment. Thus, this contribution arises: the development of a new mobile application that allows users to continuously monitor the environment and be aware of any undesirable changes that may occur.
