THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATIC CIGARETTE SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEM USING TA12-100 AND MQ-135 SENSORS

Abstract

Indonesia is ranked 3rd with the highest number of active smokers in the world after India and China. Cigarettes contain more than 4000 chemical compounds that are harmful to active smokers and passive smokers. The large number of active smokers in Indonesia also has an impact on passive smokers where passive smokers also inhale cigarette smoke. The purpose of this research is to build an automatic cigarette smoke detector to support air hygiene control, protect passive smokers, and save electricity used. The stages in designing this research include analysis of product specifications, assembly, programming, and trials. This study was designed using Arduino UNO as the microcontroller, the MQ-135 sensor as a tool to detect cigarette smoke, the TA12-100 sensor to calculate electrical power consumption, the relay as an automatic switch, and the exhaust fan as a smoke neutralizer. The results of this study are that the MQ-135 sensor can detect cigarette smoke properly with the Relay as an automatic switch that functions to turn on the exhaust fan automatically. Based on the test results on the TA12-100 sensor, the consumption of electrical energy with an automatic mechanism is more efficient than the consumption of electrical energy in a manual way, with a difference of 0.0000385 kWH and Rp. 0.05205. Future research could focus on developing a more complex system for overall air cleanliness control, rather than just focusing on cigarette smoke detection.
