According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart kitchen system developed to provide enhanced safety, intelligent automation, and reliable control within kitchen environments. Kitchens are highly vulnerable to hazards due to the continuous use of open flames, electrical appliances, and combustible gases, which can result in fire outbreaks, smoke accumulation, gas leakage, overheating, and accidental appliance misuse. Such hazards pose serious risks to human life and property, particularly in unattended kitchens, commercial cooking spaces, and households with elderly or physically challenged users. To address these challenges, the proposed system integrates a network of safety sensors, automated control mechanisms, and intelligent communication modules that continuously monitor kitchen conditions in real time. Flame sensors and smoke sensors are strategically placed to detect early signs of fire or smoke and transmit data to a central microcontroller- based control unit. The controller processes sensor data using predefined safety thresholds and decision-making logic to identify hazardous conditions at an early stage, even before visible damage occurs. Upon detection of unsafe conditions, the system automatically initiates corrective and preventive actions without requiring human intervention. These actions include automatic activation of exhaust ventilation systems to remove smoke and toxic gases, triggering a water pump for early fire suppression, disconnecting electrical loads through relay modules to prevent further escalation, and generating local audible alerts to warn nearby occupants. Simultaneously, a GSM-based communication module sends remote alert notifications to registered mobile numbers, ensuring immediate user awareness even when the user is away from the kitchen or premises. In addition to safety automation, the invention incorporates AI voice-based appliance control, allowing users to operate kitchen appliances using voice commands during normal conditions. The system follows a priority-based control architecture in which safety operations always override voice commands and routine automation, ensuring fail-safe performance during emergencies. Battery-backed power supply ensures uninterrupted operation during power failures. By reducing reliance on manual supervision, minimizing response time during emergencies, and improving reliability and user convenience, the proposed smart kitchen system significantly enhances overall kitchen safety and operational efficiency."
