Design of a Home Fire Detection System Using Arduino and SMS Gateway

Abstract

Fire is a problem that can happen at any time. Delay in coping with house fires can induce in loss of human life or material. If the fire is not held severely, incidents like house fires can occur and create more significant losses, especially with the increasing number of residents’ settlements in the formation of huddled houses, which will be more challenging to handle in case of a fire. This research aims to build a prototype system that quickly helps house owners and firefighters to detect fires and gas leaks. This home fire detection system is utilized to measure room temperature and gas levels in a room, then the output of this system is sending information of short messages and alarms. The results revealed that the prototype room with a scale of 1:25, 1:50, and 1:75 which uses a temperature sensor and a gas sensor could run as desired. In 10 testing trials, the system works according to the designed plan, which means the system could interpret the temperature and gas leakage of a room, then the system will send a short message and ring the alarm.

Comparison of Three Prototypes of PPG Sensors for Continual Real-Time Measurement in Weak Magnetic Field

“…The output from the second LPF block is passed to the input of a 10-bit A/D converter integrated in the 8-bit processor ATmega328P by Atmel Company. This processor is a core element of the microprocessor unit—the Arduino Uno v. 3.0 board [ 28 ] together with an USB interface which can also be supplemented by the GSM module for connection to a mobile data gateway [ 29 ]. For our purpose, the BT communication module HC-06 [ 30 ] is used.…”
