Innovative Fire and Gas Recognition System Featuring Remote Monitoring and Automated Alerts

Abstract

An advance safety system has been developed to effectively address the critical risks associated with fire and gas leakages in both industrial and residential environments. This advanced system integrates a range of sensors, including flame sensors, gas sensors, and temperature sensors, all connected to a microcontroller. The microcontroller is responsible for processing data from these sensors to continuously monitor and evaluate environmental conditions for any signs of fire or gas leaks. Upon recognizing an anomaly, the system activates an alert mechanism that includes displaying status updates on an LCD screen, sounding an audible alarm via a buzzer, and sending instant notifications through SMS via a GSM module to prompt immediate response. A key innovation of this system is its utilization of the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol for cloud-based monitoring and data management. This protocol supports real-time data transmission and analysis through the Ubidots platform, facilitating efficient and reliable communication between the system and cloud services. The lightweight and efficient MQTT protocol ensures seamless remote monitoring and control, while the cloud integration allows for continuous data storage and detailed analysis. This combination of real-time monitoring, remote access, and advanced alerting mechanisms provides a comprehensive solution for hazard recognition and management, significantly enhancing safety by enabling prompt responses and safeguarding both lives and property.
