The focus of this project was to design and create a combinational smoke detector to sense different fire characteristics. Research was completed on the background of detectors and different thresholds of characteristic signatures from a fire that could be identified. Fire signatures identified for the detector were smoke, carbon monoxide and heat. Individual sensors that could recognize these signatures were used in the design of a smoke detector that could reduce the number of false alarms caused by nuisance sources by looking for a combination of signals to indicate alarm.
