Internet of Things (IoT) Platform for Simulating and Detecting LPG Leaks

Abstract

There has to be a reliable system in place to identify and monitor leaks of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) because its usage is on the rise in both homes and businesses. To automate and monitor operations in real-time, the suggested system incorporates essential components including the NodeMCU ESP8266, a load control mechanism, a gas sensor (MQ3), and a temperature and humidity sensor (DHT11). If the MQ3 gas detector identifies a gas leak, it will immediately sound an alarm via a buzzer and a GSM-based alert system. By constantly scanning for changes in temperature that may signal potential fire dangers, the DHT11 sensor adds an extra layer of protection. A relay module controls the load mechanism by cutting electricity to avoid additional hazards. Remote monitoring and data transfer across IoT platforms are made possible by the NodeMCU ESP8266, which acts as the central controller. Enhanced safety and control, together with a cost-effective real-time solution, are offered by this integrated system to eliminate dangers associated to LPG.
