Project Title:

IoT-Based Smart Gas Leak Detector

Objective:

To design an IoT-enabled gas leak detection system that monitors gas levels in real-time and provides immediate alerts to ensure safety in residential, commercial, or industrial settings.

 Project Summary:

This project focuses on creating a smart gas leak detection system that uses IoT sensors to detect the presence of hazardous gases such as methane (CH4), propane (C3H8), or carbon monoxide (CO). The gas sensors monitor the air quality, and if dangerous gas concentrations are detected, the system immediately triggers an alarm and sends alerts via SMS, email, or mobile app. The system can also log gas levels over time, providing users with insights into potential risks and allowing for timely interventions.

Key Components:

Hardware: Gas sensor (MQ series), microcontroller (ESP32/Arduino), Wi-Fi/GSM module, buzzer or alarm system

Software: Mobile/Web app for notifications and monitoring, Cloud platform (for data storage and alerts)

Technologies: IoT, Gas Detection, Real-Time Monitoring, Wireless Communication

Features:

Continuous monitoring of hazardous gas levels (e.g., methane, propane, carbon monoxide)

Real-time alerts when gas levels exceed safe thresholds

Alarm systems (visual or auditory) triggered by gas detection

Remote monitoring via mobile or web app

Data logging and trend analysis for gas levels over time

Integration with home automation systems for automatic shutdown of appliances in case of a leak

 Applications:

Home safety (kitchen, gas-powered appliances)

Industrial facilities (gas plants, refineries, factories)

Commercial buildings and restaurants with gas appliances

Hazardous area monitoring (mining, laboratories, etc.)

Outcome:

This project demonstrates how IoT technology can improve safety by providing real-time detection of gas leaks and sending immediate alerts. By automating the detection and alerting process, it enhances the overall security and safety in environments where gas leaks pose a significant risk.
