Water leakage and overflow within fire protection pipeline systems can lead to substantial water losses, increased operational costs, and reduced system readiness during emergency events. Traditional monitoring practices are primarily manual and periodic, limiting their ability to detect faults promptly and increasing the risk of undetected failures. This study presents an Internet of Things (IoT)-based intelligent monitoring system designed to continuously observe fire pipeline conditions and deliver real-time information through a Progressive Web Application (PWA) platform. The proposed system utilizes flow and pressure sensing mechanisms to identify abnormal water behavior associated with leaks or overflow conditions. Sensor data are transmitted wirelessly to a cloud-based server and visualized through a web-based dashboard developed as a PWA, enabling cross-platform accessibility without the need for native mobile applications. The PWA also provides real-time alerts and notifications to users when irregular operating conditions are detected, supporting faster response and preventive maintenance. Experimental results demonstrate that the system is capable of accurately detecting abnormal flow and pressure variations with reliable data communication and low latency. The proposed solution offers a cost-effective, scalable, and user-friendly approach for improving fire safety infrastructure, while also being applicable to domestic and commercial water monitoring systems. The integration of PWA technology enhances system accessibility, responsiveness, and usability, making it a practical solution for modern smart monitoring applications.
