INTRODUCTION TO THE
PROJECT
Welcome to our project on building a
Smoke Detector Alarm using Arduino.
Smoke detection is a critical element
in ensuring safety in various
environments. In our project, we've
developed a DIY smoke detection
system using Arduino. This system
promptly senses the presence of
smoke in the environment and
triggers visual and audible alerts to
alert individuals, helping to prevent
potential fire hazards and enhancing
safety."
MAIN OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of the "Smoke Detector Alarm using Arduino" project are as
follows:
1. Early Smoke Detection: To promptly detect the presence of smoke in the environment,
providing early warning and enhancing safety.
2. Visual and Audible Alerts: To use visual indicators (LEDs) and audible alarms (Buzzer)
to alert individuals to the presence of smoke.
3. Customization: To offer the flexibility to adjust the sensitivity of the system by setting a
gas concentration threshold.
4. Cost-Effective Solution: To provide an affordable and accessible smoke detection
solution for a broad audience.
5. DIY Approach: To empower individuals to build their own smoke detection system using
readily available components and an Arduino microcontroller.

WORKING PRINC IPLE
In this circuit, the MQ2 gas sensor detects the level of
smoke in the environment and sends the analog value to
the Arduino. which compares the value with the standard
value if the value is higher, Arduino sends the signal to the
led and the red light will be illuminated and the buzzer will
be started. otherwise, green led will be illuminated.
WORKING
When Smoke Is Detected:
1.Visual Indication:
1. The red LED is illuminated, providing a visual alert that smoke has been detected in
the environment.
2.Audible Alert:
1. The Buzzer is activated and produces an audible alarm, alerting individuals to the
presence of smoke.
3.Alarm State:
1. The system enters an alarm state, indicating that there is a potential fire hazard or the
presence of hazardous gases.
WORKING
When Smoke Is Not Detected (Safe Environment):
1.Visual Indication:
1. The green LED is illuminated, providing a visual indication that the environment is safe
and free from smoke or hazardous gases.
2.No Audible Alarm:
1. The Buzzer remains silent, and there is no audible alarm.
DEMONSTRATION
FU TU RE IMPROVEMENTS AND
EXTENSIONS
1.Remote Monitoring: Enhance the system with remote monitoring
capabilities, enabling users to check their environment's status from a
distance.
2.Data Logging: Implement data logging features to record historical gas
sensor readings for analysis and pattern recognition.
3.Integration with Smart Homes: Integrate the system with smart
home automation for automatic responses to alarms.
4.SMS/Email Alerts: Enable the system to send alerts via SMS or email to
ensure that users receive notifications even when they are not on-site.
5.Multi-Sensor Setup: Extend the system to support multiple sensors,
covering various areas within a home or building.
6.Voice Alerts: Add voice alert functionality for more informative and
detailed warnings.
CONCLUSION
The Smoke Detector Alarm using Arduino project showcases the
importance of early smoke detection for safety. By combining an Arduino-
based system with components like the MQ2 Gas Sensor, LEDs, and a
Buzzer, we've created a cost-effective solution. When smoke or high gas
concentrations are detected, the system provides immediate visual and
audible alerts. The potential for future improvements, such as remote
monitoring and integration with smart home systems, promises to make
our environments even safer.
