Design and development of an IoT-based Fire Detection System for real-time alerts and quick emergency responses.
The IoT-Based Fire Detection System is designed to detect fires early and alert authorities instantly to prevent major disasters. By using smoke and temperature sensors, this system ensures real-time monitoring and sends alerts through an IoT app for immediate action. It offers a scalable and practical solution for homes, offices, and industrial areas, significantly enhancing fire safety measures.
The system uses a NodeMCU microcontroller integrated with an MQ-2 smoke sensor and a DHT11 temperature sensor to detect fire hazards. When abnormal levels of smoke or temperature are detected, the system triggers a buzzer for local alerts and sends notifications to an IoT app using the Blynk platform. The IoT-enabled alerts provide authorities with real-time data, enabling them to respond promptly and minimize damage.
The smoke sensor (MQ-2) monitors the air for harmful gases and smoke, while the temperature sensor (DHT11) tracks ambient temperature levels. When a predefined threshold is exceeded, the NodeMCU microcontroller processes the sensor data and triggers the buzzer for an audible alert. Simultaneously, the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module sends the data to the Blynk IoT app, notifying emergency services and users about the potential fire hazard.
