The Roof Is on Fire?
summary
A low-cost wireless fire-detection network is actually built and field-tested: a small cluster deployed in a Metropolitan forest near Athens collects temperature, humidity, gas and flame data and aims to scale to cover areas the size of London burned in 2023. Prototype hardware uses ESP32 boards running DeviceScript, a BME688 gas sensor plus flame and humidity sensors, battery + solar power and 3D‑printed enclosures; devices form a self‑healing mesh via painlessMESH and can uplink over Wi‑Fi/4G/Swarm. Some demos are flaky but the deployed prototypes work and feed data for TinyML and forecasting with Prophet/Copernicus sources.
