Electronic Module for Carbon Monoxide Monitoring and Warning

The IoT domain is in growing exponentially. Monitoring the values collected by sensors, displaying, interpreting and making a decision after analyzing them, are very important steps that are performed within an IoT (Internet of Things) system. At the same time, another important concept is that of energy saving, for example by using energy delivered by photovoltaic panels. Two important parameters to monitor are the level of carbon monoxide and temperature in an enclosed space since high values of these parameters can endanger human life. This project falls within the field of IoT and is based on the concepts described above; the temperature value and the carbon monoxide level are processed by a microcontroller and transmitted to a database, and to a telephone application respectively, in order to be able to permanently monitor their values. If the carbon monoxide level exceeds a certain level, the buzzer associated with the system will alert the people in the room and a supervisor, by means of the Internet connection. In the following chapters the block diagram, together with the main components, the implementation and testing of the system will be presented.
