FlameGuard 🔥

FlameGuard is an IoT-based fire detection and alert system that integrates hardware and software to provide real-time fire alerts, making fire safety monitoring more accessible and efficient. The system consists of three main components:

1. Arduino Project - Uses sensors like flame and smoke detectors with an Arduino Uno to detect fire and communicate alerts to the backend.
2. Mobile App - A React Native application where users can register and receive immediate fire alerts from their respective locations.
3. Web Backend - A Java-based web application, deployed on GlassFish with MySQL, to handle data processing, alert management, and user administration.

🔧 Tech Stack

Languages & Frameworks:

• React Native (JavaScript) for mobile app development, creating a seamless user experience across iOS and Android.
• Java & Hibernate for backend development, ensuring efficient data processing and ORM (Object-Relational Mapping).
• Arduino (C++) to handle sensor readings and communication protocols.

Databases:

• MySQL as the primary database for reliable and structured data storage.
• HeidiSQL and MySQL Workbench for database management and visualization.

IDEs & Tools:

• Visual Studio Code for coding React Native and web-related files.
• NetBeans for Java EE development, especially for the backend.
• Arduino IDE to program and configure the Arduino Uno and its sensors.
• Figma for mobile app interface design and prototyping.
• GitHub Desktop for version control and project collaboration.

📂 Project Structure

• Arduino-Project/: Contains code and setup for the Arduino microcontroller, including configurations for flame sensors and Wi-Fi connectivity via ESP32 for cloud communication.
• Mobile-App/: Codebase for the React Native application with user authentication, fire alert notifications, and integration with Firebase for real-time updates.
• Web-Backend/: Java EE backend application built with GlassFish and MySQL, which handles backend processes like user registration, device management, and fire alerts.

🚀 Getting Started

Each component has its own setup and usage instructions in its respective directory. Here’s an overview of getting started:

• Arduino Project: Follow instructions in Arduino-Project/README.md to set up the hardware, install required libraries, and configure the sensors.
• Mobile App: Instructions in Mobile-App/README.md guide you through installing dependencies, setting up Firebase, and running the React Native app.
• Web Backend: Set up the Java backend by following the Web-Backend/README.md, which includes setting up a GlassFish server, configuring MySQL, and deploying the backend application.

🛠️ Features

• Real-Time Fire Detection: Detects flame, smoke, or heat and triggers an alert immediately.
• Push Notifications: Alerts users and fire brigades via mobile notifications for quick response.
• Location-Based Alerts: Users are notified based on their registered location, ensuring relevant alerts.
• User and Device Management: Fire brigades and locations can create and manage their accounts.

📈 Project Goals

• Safety: Provide an affordable and effective solution for fire detection.
• Accessibility: Mobile alerts ensure users receive timely notifications, even if they’re offsite.
• Scalability: Built to handle a growing number of users and devices.
