The paper is presenting development of a microcontroller-based multi-home alarm system that can be detect smoking. Addition of local materials are considered. The text message is displayed by developed prototype whenever smoke or intrusion was detected. Developmental research design was used to come up with a working prototype of the designing. For testing the smoke alarm, the system was exposed to different burning materials such as paper, wood, plastic, cloth and rubber; and to test the intrusion alarm, the system was placed at different distances. Based from the findings of the study, all materials acquired locally were able to function properly. The system was found to be consistent and efficient with data transmission, processing and reception. Response time of less than 20 seconds for smoke alarm and less than 2 seconds for lock mechanism were recorded. The system instantly sent notification messages to the user after fire and proximity sensors were triggered
