IOT Based Gas Level and Leakage Detection for Domestic Applications
摘要
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) consists of gases like propane, methane, butylene, propylene, and butane which are exceedingly hazardous. They are highly combustible. The proposed system is capable of continuous weight detection of the LPG cylinder. When the weight reaches some minimum threshold, it sends SMS alerts to the user and the authorized LPG agent for automatic cylinder booking. The system is also capable of detecting gases such as propane and butane. Whenever there is leakage of LPG gas, the system alerts the consumer with SMS. The system uses Arduino UNO for controlling all the processes. GSM modem is used for sending SMS [4]. Sensors such as fire detectors, load cells, gas leakage sensors are used in the system for the safety of the user. The LCD is used for displaying the output of the sensors and other results. Light Emitting Diode (LED) is used for indication purposes. During the leakage situation, the system can stimulate other processes like switching on the exhaust fan automatically, opening the windows for the safety of the user.
