Smart Fire-Alarm System for Home

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that can be used to design smart systems without incurring lots of money. Although, the legislation forces to install an analog fire alarm system to every household in modern era, the system is not smart enough to send immediate notifications to the concerned individual. The analog fire alarm cannot avoid the immediate risk or damage of fire as no one stays at home all the time. The earlier the incident is reported to the concerned individual the better to reduce the fire damage. In this paper, we have proposed a smart fire-alarm system that consists of a smoke sensor and a sound sensor that can detect the smoke and the noise of the analog fire alarm system (with a view to detect whether the analog fire alarm system is working) respectively, and can notify the user about the status immediately. We have implemented the proposed smart fire-alarm system and conducted experiments to determine the effectiveness of the system. The results show that the system is reliable under various conditions of smoke and alarm noises.
