A Novel Method for Fire Detection and Alarming Notification using IoT Technology

Abstract

Fire is the most explosive and quickly spreads. Fire incidents cause a large number of fatalities worldwide. This paper provides a novel method for fire detection and alarming notification using Internet of Things technology which aims to avert the scenarios. The existing fire detection system uses a fire sensor to detect the fire, but the proposed solution is different from that. The existing systems include fire alarms and notifications by raising the alarm when the fire is discovered in a small location. The proposed solution includes a fire alarm and also notifies us via mobile device in order to ensure and present accurate solutions to the system. It can be made up of an infrared and flame-detecting flame sensor and an NodeMCU (ESP8266). This has been coupled with a buzzer and an LED, which will serve as an aural and visual alert. and it will transmit an alert whenever it detects fire through MIT App Inventor. The appropriate person is then made aware so that prompt action can be done to limit the damage to a certain level. Sensor-assisted surveillance of residential or commercial spaces and problem prevention through prediction are crucial for the safety of these areas. The approach for fire detection and alarm notification can be illustrated in this paper. NodeMCU with an infrared and flame-detecting flame sensor makes up the circuit. This has been connected to a buzzer and an LED, which will broadcast a visual and audible alert. Every time it senses fire, it will use MIT App Inventor to send out a notification. The right person is then informed so that quick action can be taken to keep the damage to a minimum. It is an affordable system for industrial and domestic safety. Every user may use this wireless home security system to the design of the hardware circuit.
