Abstract:
This study aimed to develop an Arduino Uno-integrated door for gas and smoke alerts to enhance fire safety and facilitate efficient evacuation. Current automatic door systems typically rely on motion sensors to trigger opening. In this prototype system, the door automatically opens based on smoke levels, with each level corresponding to a series of automated actions. The researchers utilized an experimental research design and applied research. The materials used are as follows: Arduino Uno, buzzers, LED lights, LCD, MQ135 gas sensors, servo motors, and stainless-steel barrel bolts. The researchers encoded programs in the components to carry out the intended function. To gather the data, the researchers conducted 10 observational trials with a stopwatch to test the prototype system’s efficiency in terms of its performance and the difference between the automated door and the One-Lock Standard Door in terms of convenience and response time. Based on the results and data gathered, it can be concluded that the machine is more convenient and has a 90% performance rate in terms of the LED warning, unlocking of the door, and buzzer warning signal. Findings also show that the response time is faster in the automated door than in the One-Lock Standard Door. It was tested and proven by getting the average mean and performing a T-test on the data gathered by the researchers themselves. The researchers then recommend that future researchers implement this on other types of door locks and enhance the LCD feature by displaying the type of smoke sensors.
