Accidents caused by fire can result in serious injury and damage to personal
property. Fire hazards are not always obvious in and around the home, so
accidents involving fire are often unexpected and sudden. The main purpose
of fire detection monitoring systems using Raspberry Pi isto provide an early
warning for homeowners, to take immediate action to stop or eliminate fire
effects as soon as possible. The system called Ifire provides a real time
monitoring system, where they can receive push notification once the sensors
are triggered. This system is a combination of technology using Internet of
Things devices like temperature and humidity sensors (DHT11), infrared
(IR) flame sensor, and mobile application. This system is an application that
uses geo-fencing technology for homeowners, to find the nearest fire
department to give a fast emergency response. Besides, it could help fire
department staff to receive homeowner addresses and navigate directly to
the location. The project was tested with functionality testing and network
performance testing to make it work properly and successfully. The network
performance testing shows the distance between Raspberry Pi and the access
point will decrease when the distance increases. In addition, the response
time testing result also shows the time during peak hour will decrease the
performance. For future enhancements this Internet-based monitoring
system will need security protection to prevent false fire information.
