GSM module is performing good. It was tested by

sending and receiving messages and it is sending and
receiving messages very efficiently and able to read and
write message. The temperature sensor was also tested by
burning the wood and it is able to detect the variation in the
temperature. The Solenoid lock works very well after
entering the password. And additional relay board was used
to connect Solenoid lock to the Arduino Uno board.
Here the system is tested on various parameters such as
time lapse in execution, false alert. Here the experiment was
performed approx. 20 times and the average time lapse was
around 1000-1500 msec, in best case it is 800 msec and in
worst case it is 2700msec. That means it is quite faster than
other security systems and have a great response time.
