| contents | Recent advances in low-cost microcontrollers have enabled innovative smart home applications. However, existing systems typically consist of single-purpose devices that only report sensed data to a controller. Given the potential for residential emergencies, we propose to integrate emergency detection systems into smart home environments. We present an ad-hoc distributed sensor network (DSN) designed to detect five common residential emergencies: fires, gas and water leakages, earthquakes, and intrusions. Our novel approach combines diverse sensors with a voting-based consensus algorithm among multiple nodes, improving accuracy and reliability over traditional alert systems. The consensus algorithm employs a majority rule with weighted votes, allowing adjustments for various scenarios. An experimental evaluation confirms our approach's effectiveness in accurately detecting emergencies while demonstrating reliability in mitigating node failures, ensuring system longevity, and maintaining robust communication. Additionally, our approach significantly reduces power consumption compared to alternatives. |
