Abstract

Fire alarm systems are critical for warning people before a fire make any damage to people's properties. Currently used fire alarm systems need many resources and a lot of work to install those systems. This deters people from installing them in their homes or companies. To overcome the difficulties of installing the existing systems, we propose an IoT-based fire alarm system that is simple to install in both households and companies. The proposed system is more effective than the existing systems. It is an ad-hoc network with multiple nodes spread around the premises where the system is to be installed. Each of these nodes is made up of an ESP8266 node MCU (programmable micro-controller) that is connected to carbon dioxide, methane, flame, smoke, humidity, and temperature sensors, which continuously monitor the surrounding environment in order to detect the existence of fire. The nodes set up their own wireless network. These nodes connect with a Raspberry Pi-based centralized system micro-controller with a 4G Advance LTE Module. When a node detects a fire, it sends a signal to a central node, which ensures SMS is sent to the fire department and users, this intern results in calls to the company staff and alerts the company by ringing the local alarm. At the same time, the sensing nodes form a mesh network and are connected to the central node through a bridge node. The Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol will be used to communicate between the sensing node and the bridge node. The proposed system has a prototype that successfully performs the necessary functionality with an average latency and a delay of 20 seconds.
