Implementación de un prototipo para el Monitoreo de dióxido de carbono (CO2), monóxido de carbono (CO) y metano (CH4) en lugares residenciales utilizando el sistema operativo Android y Arduino

Abstract

The present titling project involves the implementation of a prototype for gases monitoring such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) in residential areas using the Arduino UNO platform. The results of the monitoring are shown in an application developed for the cell phone with an Android operating system. The communication between the monitoring prototype and the cellular application is through Bluetooth and GSM/GPSR (Global System for Mobile communications /General Packet Radio Service) wireless technologies. As an alert system, the prototype is able to send a SMS (Short Message Service) and make a missed call to a previously registered telephone number when the levels are above the allowed threshold. Moreover, to mitigate the effects of gas contamination on humans, the prototype has a ventilation mechanism (which opens a window when there is high levels of pollution) to dissipate contaminated gas in the environment.
