Expanding the functionality of IoT devices in conditions of emergency situations

Abstract

The article is devoted to the expansion of functional devices of the Internet of Things (IoT) in order to increase the safety of the population in emergency situations, in particular in the context of natural disasters and military threats. After analyzing the latest research and publications, a conclusion was made about the relevance of the development of IoT technologies in the context of modern challenges for the safety of citizens. Special emphasis is placed on the use of innovative approaches to solving public safety problems, particularly for persons with disabilities, such as the hearing impaired or the elderly. The article describes the implementation of software in the Python programming language to visually display the status of a missile threat or artillery fire using Yeelight smart lamps, which use colored light to convey information about the presence or absence of danger messages. The proposed solutions include synchronous operation of devices in real time, connection to reliable sources of messages and provision of stable communication between devices and the server. The project demonstrated an innovative approach to solving security problems in crisis situations, in particular martial law, promoting a quick and accurate response to valuable threats and protecting the population.
