Abstract

As growth in cities is accelerating, fire safety issues are becoming more important. Some of the buildings may not implement and enforce the requirement of fire safety regulations and building codes which include necessary fire safety features. Large amounts of smoke can be produced while a building is on fire which makes most fire fatalities are caused by inhaling too much smoke. Hence, it is necessary to develop a device that can detect smoke or fire as an alert and safety. To overcome this problem, this project aims to design and develop an IoT system for the smart smoke detector using ESP8266 microcontroller powered by solar. The development of a smoke detector device is using a gas sensor and flame sensor to sense smoke particles and potential fire that are produced when fire occurs. PV solar panel system has been used as renewable energy source to power the smoke detector device. The smoke detector can sense the smoke particles within a range of 300 to 1000 ppm. When the sensor was triggered it sent a signal to microcontroller to activate the LED and buzzer. The LCD displayed the result and Blynk application sent a notification to inform the authorities that the smoke was detected. This device enables immediate responses so that loss of life, damage, financial losses and other mishaps that can occur from fire burning can be prevented.
