, Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of temperature alarm technology. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a GSM based temperature monitoring and alarming/protection system.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Temperature alarm systems have long been used to monitor temperatures in enclosed spaces, houses industries, plants etc. Such systems continuously monitor the temperature in the enclosed space and generate a visual and/or audible warning if the temperature exceeds certain limits. Houses, Industries, stores and restaurants use these systems to protect their investment and precisely monitor the temperature. Should the temperature in those cases rise too high, all of the perishable inventory could be ruined. As a result, temperature alarm systems are essential for modern stores and restaurants with perishable inventory.
[0004] Fire or temperature sensitive areas have always been the focus of security precautions. Currently, some of the alarm device has been applied, mostly fixed alarm device with wired connection for home or other temperature sensitive monitoring alarm system to deal with fire or heat, but the alarm cannot be long-distance transmission, so that when no one at home or the location, the situation cannot receive timely assistance.
[0005] Indian Patent Number 201821034063 discloses an irrigation control system which includes a microcontroller as a controller device for controlling multiple water pumps at the irrigation control system to dispense a controlled amount of water to plants growing in soil, wherein the amount of water to be dispensed, by controlling the multiple water pumps, is decided based on a trigger signal generated by the controller device, and the trigger signal is based on one or more parameters at least associated with temperature, moisture, and PH of the soil received from a plurality of sensors installed in the soil.
[0006] The cited patent document discloses an irrigation control system in which temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature of soil and a microcontroller which acts as a master to control the whole system. The microcontroller controls all the operations of sensors and other components. However, the microcontroller includes many pins and components which are of no use for the temperature sensing process. Besides, microcontroller is costly and requires skilled level programming to perform the temperature sensing of soil. Also, these temperature alarm system cannot be controlled and monitored from a long distance.
[0007] There is therefore need in the art to develop a temperature alarm/protection system to overcome the above-mentioned and other limitations of the existing solutions and utilized technique.

Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of “in” includes “in” and “on” unless the context clearly dictates otherwise..
[0009] Groupings of alternative elements or embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are not to be construed as limitations. Each group member can be referred to and claimed individually or in any combination with other members of the group or other elements found herein. One or more members of a group can be included in, or deleted from, a group for reasons of convenience and/or patentability. When any such inclusion or deletion occurs, the specification is herein deemed to contain the group as modified thus fulfilling the written description of all groups used in the appended claims.
