Abstract
This article develops a gas detection module for the intelligent home. The module uses eight gas sensors to detect the environment of the home and building. The gas sensors of the module have an NH3 sensor, an air pollution sensor, an alcohol sensor, an HS sensor, a smoke sensor, a CO sensor, an LPG sensor, and a natural gas sensor, and can classify more than eight types of gas using multisensor fusion algorithms. In the logical filter method, either AND or OR filters can be implemented in the gas detection module. Then we can calculate the system’s reliability using the AND and OR filters, and classify the type of gas in the environment. The controller of the gas detection module is a HOLTEK microchip. The module can communicate with the supervised computer via a wire interface or a wireless RF interface, and can caution the user via a voice module. Finally, we present some experimental results to measure unknown gases using the gas detection module on the security system of an intelligent building and home.
