The time has come to automate our good old fire alarms and make them part of an interconnected world.

Story
Imagine your on vacation or out of town and there’s a fire in your house. You’ll probably be informed about it if you’re lucky within 20 to 30 minutes from a neighbor, but at that point it’s a bit late to reverse the damage. What if we could be informed of a house fire within a few seconds or minutes? Well, I believe that can be accomplished using the Particle Photon and Particle web services.

Step 1:
First thing will have to do is set up our Particle Photon. The instructions on how to setup your Particle device our described in the following link https://docs.particle.io/guide/getting-started/intro/photon/.

Step 2:
Our second step is to connect our Particle Photon to our Particle relay shield v3.1 https://store.particle.io/collections/shields-and-kits and in turn connect our flame sensor to the Photon. The relay shield can be used for many different purposes, for example theirs a fire in the middle of the night the Photon will turn on the lights within the vicinity that its installed in.

Below you’ll find a diagram of the Particle Photon and the wiring connection for the flame sensor.”
