Abstract

*ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION Smart home safety and security systems are essential for protecting homes from threats such as intrusions, fires, and gas leaks, particularly in the homeowner's absence. Using the Arduino platform, these systems are affordable, flexible, and compatible with a wide range of sensors and modules. Arduino-based solutions offer customizable and scalable designs, integrating various ? safety and security features to ensure effective protection and ease of use. In our project, such a system involves an Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno or Mega) connected ~ . . . to sensors like PIR motion detectors;:){as_ sensors, flame sensors, and temperature sensors. These . - '?;)1~.11~- componc:;nts ?detect anomalies, triggering actions such as alarms, smartphone notifications, or automatic door locking. Communication modules like Wi-Fi (ESP8266) or Bluetooth enable remote morlitoring and control, while programming in the Arduino IDE manages data processing and decision-making. This project highlights the potential of Arduino in creating - efficient, affordable smart home systems and serves as a platfoim for future innovations like AICil g> based threat detection
