An Integrated Hardware Prototype for Monitoring Gas leaks, Fires, and Remote control via Mobile Application

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is used in a wide range of applications such as home and industrial appliances, vehicles, and refrigerators. However, leakage of gas can have a dangerous and toxic effect on humans and other living organisms. In this paper, an IoT based system is employed for this purpose to monitor gas leakage, detect flames, and alert users. The MQ-5 gas sensor was used to understand the concentration level of a closed volume of gas, while the infrared flame sensor was used to detect the spread of fire in this study. The proposed system has the capacity to detect fire and gas leaks as well as take additional action to lower gas concentration by air ventilation with exhausted fan and put out fires with fire extinguisher. The suggested approach will contribute to increasing safety, lowering the mortality toll, and minimizing harm to the environment. Overall system is implemented with IOT cloud-based remote controls to prevent gas leakage by using android application in response to individual feedback or feed-forward commands. The controller used here is Arduino Uno Rev3 SMD. This study provides design approaches to both software and hardware.
