Development of a low cost embedded system for fire detection in a residential house

Abstract

This project describes Development of a Low-Cost Embedded System for Fire Detection in a Residential House that can monitor an industry, building, and home. Plays an important role in maintaining and monitoring the safe of all kind environments and everything that damaged by fire. However, the many existing fire detecting (fire extinguisher) systems are not modernized or automatic and also with high cost. Subsequently, it is not affordable for the low-income users. The main objective of this project is to make a fire control system with low cost. The project has three main system the first is the detection system, the second is the monitoring system and the third is the appliance system. The detection system operates as the Smoke detector. The detector will sense smoke caused by fire accident. This detection system has components like flame detector, smoke detector, temperature detector etc. This discussion is about the design and implementation of a fire detecting and controlling system using the microcontroller which operates the entire system. The detectors are placed in parallel in different levels. Any signal from each detector at any level is monitored using monitoring system. The appliance system has components like buzzer, LED for alarming, LCD for displaying temperature. The system which is proposed in this paper uses the modern technology to detect the fire accidents and also to inform the respective authorities with minimum delay. Three types of sensors flame, smoke and temperature sensors are used to detect the fire accidents. The signals from these sensors will activate the Arduino which intern activates the alarm system. The proposed system is designed by using Arduino ATMega328 along with sensors. The entire system is controlled by a microcontroller. We have tested the fire detection system in the laboratory. The System is capable of detecting fire in residentialhouse.
