Alcohol Breath Analyzer Using IoT

The Alcohol Breath Analyzer Using IoT is an intelligent safety and monitoring system developed to detect and analyze alcohol levels in a person’s breath using a gas sensor (commonly from the MQ series). The sensed data is processed by a microcontroller such as Arduino, ESP8266, or ESP32, and then transmitted over the internet through an IoT module. This allows the alcohol concentration data to be viewed in real time on a mobile application or web-based dashboard.

The system can be programmed to trigger alerts when the detected alcohol level exceeds a predefined safety threshold. These alerts may include visual indicators (LEDs), audio alarms (buzzers), notifications on a smartphone, or cloud-based warnings. By enabling remote access and continuous monitoring, the project demonstrates how IoT can enhance road safety, health monitoring, and smart transportation systems.

This project is widely used in engineering and diploma courses to help students understand sensor interfacing, wireless communication, cloud connectivity, and real-world IoT applications related to safety and compliance.
