Abstract
This project is aimed towards improving fire detection. The general objective is to improve the performance of the existing smoke sensor technology in fire detection. The project is mainly based on multi-sensor technology and arduino communication. In this project, the flame, smoke and temperature sensors detect the physical conditions and convert them into electrical signals.
These signals are fed into the arduino uno board on which the appropriate code was uploaded. The microcontroller (arduino uno board) processes the input signals and activates the necessary actuators. The actuators include LED lights, buzzer, LCD screen, DC pump abs GSM module.
In absence of a fire, a green LED light is turned on and the screen displays "NO FIRE". in case of a fire, a red light is turned on, the buzzer makes an alarm, the screen displays "FIRE ALERT", the DC pump pumps out water to extinguish the fire and thr GSM sends an alert message to the necessary phone numbers.
This project mainly focuses on residential and school buildings as opposed to business premises and factories which in most cases contain highly valuable and costly assets and thus might require a fire detection solution with very high performance standards.
