Automation of fire watcher : sentry approach

Residential fire is one of the most neglected problem in Singapore. Very few residential premises are installed with fire detection system. The situation is becoming worse as more and more people are getting e-scooter at home. These e-scooters could easily catch fire or even explode due to over-c...
