Abstract :
Almost every household and restaurants use
Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) in their kitchens as it is
an essential part of cooking. As important as it becomes it
is often difficult to maintain it as there are a lot of
difficulties for the users and the igneous gas can cause
hazards at any time. The main issue arises when we
cannot detect gas leakage in our LPG and there is no
automated booking yet. These leakages can cause the life
of the user. We can only understand that the gas cylinder
is over when it is empty and stops working which is very
inefficient for the users. To rectify these issues we
developed Auto-Gaz, a hardware and software
combination product that helps us to identify the current
filling of the cylinder, the correct time for slot booking,
and gives information about gas leakage if any occurs. In
this product load cell senses the weight of the cylinder and
sends the data to node MCU which helps us identify the
current status of the gas. MQ6 sensor detects the gas
leakage and the analog data is sent to the node MCU WIFI
module. Node MCU is connected to the software
application via firebase and the data is stored in the
application. Notifications of current updates are shown in
the application. If leakage occurs the system detects it and
sends a warning alert to the mobile application. When the
gas reaches a minimum level, the user is notified of a new
booking. In addition, this device promises automatic
working with no need for human interference and assures
reliability, efficiency along with cost-effectiveness. AutoGaz is easily installable and low maintenance. This
project aims to aid in home automation with the help of
IoT.
