Mobile-based sensor notification application

Abstract

According to National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic in 2015, there were 4836 workers killed on construction sites due to illness and fatalities, 9% injuries were due to the exposure to the hazardous environment. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one of the technologies used to access information from the environment and sent to the computer for analysis, thus reducing exposure to the hazardous environment. However, the state of danger is not yet known to the worker directly. Fortunately a mobile application can overcome this problem by receiving notification from the sensor device. In this paper, we propose a mobile application that can receive notification from the sensor device. We design our application to communicate to the sensor device that connected to the server. Our application can receive notification if there is an alteration from sensor data such as change of normal status to dangerous status or vice versa. Notification delivery was sent by using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send notifications to Android. In the implementation, the application can receive notification of change of status sensor data equipped with sound when notification received.
