Arvin Anthony S. Araneta, Charito B. Lacasa . Rapid Application Development based Fire Alarm Device. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 34 ( Aug 2024), 1-5. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024923631
The use of different IoT devices for home automation has become very popular in recent years. Fire detection and avoidance of fire accidents is one of the necessary and important application of home automation using IoT. Traditional fire alarm system requires huge installation cost and labor. The proposed IOT based fire alarm system basically detects fire at an early stage, generates an automatic alarm and notify the remote user or fire control station about the fire outbreak. The goal of this study is to develop a monitoring tool for automated fire detection with an Arduino microcontroller and a smartphone. The Fire Alarm Device uses sensor data from two parameters: temperature and smoke and displays its reading in an application at the same time. The device includes an ESP32, which can send data via WiFi and Bluetooth. Testing results shows that the equipment was practical and useful since it met the specification. The device can be marketed to the public as a rapid-fire emergency notification system. More work is needed to expand the device's range, application structure, and functionality.
