Abstract

Smoke detectors are essential pieces of equipment in the field of fire safety, acting as the first line of defense against possible catastrophes. These devices have historically performed well in their principal duty of sounding an auditory alarm to notify building occupants when smoke is detected. On the other hand, as technology develops further, more complex and flexible solutions are becoming apparent. This project explores innovation by suggesting the creation of a sophisticated solar-powered smoke detector system. To improve the functionality of traditional smoke detectors, an Arduino Uno microcontroller, a MQ-7 smoke sensor, and a GSM module for SMS notifications are integrated. Traditional alarms work well for alerting people inside a building, but they might not be sufficient in situations where distant alerts are necessary, in noisy environments, or in empty buildings. The main objective of the research is to get over these restrictions and develop a smoke detection system that is excellent at detecting smoke and high temperatures, but also has the added benefit of remote warnings, which enables it to be flexible in a variety of situations. This project is a major step in the right direction toward bridging the gap between conventional fire safety procedures and the changing requirements of modern settings.
