Introduction
• Technology playsa vital role in our daily
lives,particularly in safety and security.
• This project presents an Arduino based smoke detector
and alarm system designed to prevent fire accidents.The
circuit includes a smoke sensor, the LCD shows “Fire in
room!” and the alarm sound immediately, alerting
occupants and helping prevent damage or injury

Components
Smoke detection circuitin this project is build using several key
components. Each of these plays an important role in ensuring
the system works efficiently and reliably.
The main components are:
1. Smoke Sensor Module(MQ-2) - Detects the presence of smoke or
harmful gases.
2. Arduino UNO R3 module - Serves as the main controller of the
circuit.
3. LCD Display - Shows real - time messages such as “Fire in Room!”
4. Buzzer - Alerts users with sound when smoke is detected.
5. Resistor - Help control current flow and protect circuit
components.
6. Breadboard - Used for circuit assembly and testing connections.

Smoke Senser
module (MQ2)
MQ-2 detects smoke and flammable gases.
• Used for basic fire and safety monitoring.
• Triggers alarms in home and security
systems.
Arduino Uno R3
Arduino UNO is a popular microcontroller
board based on the ATmega328.
“Uno” means “one,” marking it as the first
USB-based Arduino board.
• Widely used for electronics projects,
prototyping, and automation.

Buzzer
• The buzzerprovides the alarm in the
smoke-detection circuit.
• It sounds immediately when smoke is
detected.
• A piezoelectric buzzer is used, which
creates sound using a vibrating piezo
element.

Working Principle
• Thesensor’s output voltage changes according to the amount of
smoke or gas present in the surrounding air.
• The sensor produces a voltage proportional to the concentration of
smoke or gas.
• When the gas or smoke concentration increases, the output voltage
also increases.
• Conversely, when the concentration decreases, the output voltage
drops.
• This change in voltage helps in circuit detect the presence and
intensity of smoke, triggering the alarm when a certain threshold is
reached.
Conclusion
• For betterfire safety, it’s important to install smoke detectors in
every bedroom,hallway, and floor of a home or building.
• With reliable smoke detectors, we can be confident that our homes
and families are protected from fire hazards.
• Smoke detectors are low-cost, efficient , and easy to use making
them one of the most effective safety device in both homes and
industries
