IOT Based Forest Fire Detection System: Instructables

The document describes an IOT-based forest fire detection system that uses solar-powered boxes deployed throughout a forest. Each box contains sensors to measure humidity, temperature, and CO and communicates wirelessly to a base station with an internet connection. The base station analyzes the sensor data using an fire index and notifies authorities if a fire is detected. It then uploads the collected data to an online database for monitoring by a forest fire unit. The system aims to improve on existing forest fire detection and prevention.

Step 4: Components Used

Step 5: Transmitter Node

The environmental parameters like temperature , humidity & CO gas are monitored and collected using arduino
are transmitted through xbee rf communication. The xbee are programmed in AT mode.

Step 6: Gateway

The gateway here is PC with internet-connection. The Co-ordinator xbee is connected to the pc via usb port using
the break-out board. To read data from the serial bus we developed a python script that reads data from COM port
, processes it , published to the cloud and is also resposible for detection of forest fire.

We are using thingsboard server for the IOT dashboard and IFTT for sending alert sms and Email.
