Fire detection using flame sensor module

The EzloPi smart devices provide automation through simple, customizable use with our open-source EzloPi platform, making daily life easier and improving human-machine interactions.

Before moving into this example, it is very important to know about the device registration, provisioning and converting the ESP32 device into an EzloPi device along with knowledge of Web Flasher, MiOS Mobile Application for Android/iOS and the MiOS Web Application.

Fire Hazard is a real safety concern and it should not be taken lightly. With this project you will be able to detect and take precautionary measures if there is any open flame in the environment. We will be interfacing the KY-026 flame sensor module with the EzloPi device to detect the presence of flames or fire in its vicinity, making it an ideal addition to smart homes, automation systems, security applications, and industrial setups. By using the MiOS app, users can remotely monitor their smart home environment for any fire hazard and take countermeasures in the event of a fire.

The following components are required for interfacing with the EzloPi device:

• ESP32 as an EzloPi smart device.
• KY-026 Flame sensor module.

The wiring diagram for the ESP32 30 pin is represented as below:

The following connections are made in order to complete the circuit setup:

From ESP32 to the KY-026 Flame Sensor:

• Connect 3.3V from the ESP32 to the VCC (+ pin) of the sensor.
• Connect GND from the ESP32 to the GND (G) pin of the sensor.
• Connect D4 from the ESP32 to the D0 pin of the sensor.
• Connect D33 from the ESP32 to the A0 pin of the sensor.

1. Set up your device/hardware by visiting config.ezlopi.com

2. Log in using the credentials which you just set earlier while signing up.

3. Now, click on the Connect Device button and a pop-up window will appear.

4. Now, select COM Port to which your ESP32 device is connected. In our case, the COM3 port is used.

Click Connect.

5. If you are new to this and it's your first time configuring, select Create new Device ID. Enter Wifi SSID and Wifi Password.

6. In the Device Configuration, tab click on Other.

7. A window will open for inputting the following parameters:

• Set a device name of your choosing. In our case, we set it to Flame Sensor.
• Set Device subtype to KY026 Flame Sensor.
• Check the box of GPIO 1.
• Set GPIO 1 to 4.
• Check the box of GPIO 2.
• Set GPIO 2 to 33.
• Then Click Apply Button.
• After clicking the apply button you can see a table of your setting in the device configuration tab.
• Press the Flash Device button.

8. A window will appear on the bottom right side of the screen displaying “Please press BOOT button while flashing begins.”

9. Hold the BOOT button down until the next window appears on the bottom right side of the screen which says “Installation prepared. Please release the boot button now.”

10. Release the BOOT button from your ESP32 when this pop-up on the bottom right window appears.

10. After some time, a popup will appear saying Device Flashed Successfully! This means that your device has been set up successfully.

You can download the MIOS Android app from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

1. After downloading the app, proceed to install the application and open it.

2. Using the MIOS mobile application, create a new Ezlo Cloud account using the sign-up option. If you already have an account, you may proceed to log in.

3. After successfully logging in, you will be able to see the number of controllers connected such as a lamp, fan, or any other device in the MiOS app. Tap on any controller of your desired ID:

4. You will be able to see the status of your controller whether it is online or offline. Access the device dashboard, and tap the device. The following view of the dashboard will appear:

5. After opening the MiOS mobile dashboard, you will be able to see the tile of your connected device. The KY026 Flame Sensor tiles in the above image indicate that no flame has been detected.

6. In the above picture, the KY026 Flame Sensor tiles reflect that flame has been detected.

1. After configuring the controller with the EzloPi web flasher, head to ezlogic.mios.com

2. Use the same credentials to log in that you used for configuring the controller with the web flasher.

3. After opening the MiOS web dashboard, you see the tile of your connected device.The KY026 Flame Sensor tiles in the above image indicate that no flame has been detected.

4. In the above picture, the KY026 Flame Sensor tiles reflect that flame has been detected.
