Heat Flame Sensor

Heat Flame Sensor Documentation

Overview

The Heat Flame Sensor is an IoT component designed to detect heat, flames, or sparks in various applications. It is commonly used in fire alarm systems, industrial monitoring, and robotics. This sensor provides a digital output indicating the presence or absence of heat or flames.

Specifications

Operating Voltage: 5V
 Operating Current: 10mA
 Detection Range: 0.5m to 5m
 Detection Angle: 60
 Response Time: 2 seconds
 Digital Output: High (logic 1) when heat/flame detected, Low (logic 0) when no heat/flame detected

Code Examples

### Example 1: Arduino-based Fire Alarm System

In this example, we'll use the Heat Flame Sensor to create a basic fire alarm system with a buzzer and an LED indicator.

Hardware Requirements

Arduino Uno or compatible board
 Heat Flame Sensor
 Buzzer
 LED
 Resistor (1k)

Software Code
```c
const int heatFlamePin = 2;  // Digital input pin for Heat Flame Sensor
const int buzzerPin = 9;  // Digital output pin for Buzzer
const int ledPin = 13;   // Digital output pin for LED

void setup() {
  pinMode(heatFlamePin, INPUT);
  pinMode(buzzerPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int heatFlameState = digitalRead(heatFlamePin);
  if (heatFlameState == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(buzzerPin, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(buzzerPin, LOW);
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  }
  delay(50);
}
```
### Example 2: Raspberry Pi-based Industrial Monitoring System

In this example, we'll use the Heat Flame Sensor to monitor for heat or flames in an industrial setting and send alerts via email using a Raspberry Pi.

Hardware Requirements

Raspberry Pi 3 or later
 Heat Flame Sensor
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Software Code
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
heat_flame_pin = 17  # GPIO pin for Heat Flame Sensor

def send_alert(subject, message):
  # Email configuration
  sender_email = "your_email@example.com"
  recipient_email = "recipient_email@example.com"
  smtp_server = "smtp.example.com"
  smtp_port = 587

msg = MIMEText(message)
  msg['Subject'] = subject
  msg['From'] = sender_email
  msg['To'] = recipient_email

server = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, smtp_port)
  server.starttls()
  server.login(sender_email, "your_password")
  server.sendmail(sender_email, recipient_email, msg.as_string())
  server.quit()

while True:
  heat_flame_state = GPIO.input(heat_flame_pin)
  if heat_flame_state:
    subject = "Heat/Flame Detected"
    message = "Heat or flame detected in the industrial area. Please investigate."
    send_alert(subject, message)
  time.sleep(1)
```
Note: Ensure to replace the email configuration with your actual email settings.

These examples demonstrate how to use the Heat Flame Sensor in various contexts, including Arduino-based projects and Raspberry Pi-based industrial monitoring systems. By incorporating this sensor into your projects, you can create reliable and efficient systems for detecting heat and flames.
