Design of an IoT Based Gas Wastage Monitoring, Leakage Detecting and Alerting System

Abstract

Leakage of any kind of gas has been a concern in recent years, whether it is in a residential setting, a business, a cafe, or a canteen. In this paper development of an IoT based gas wastage monitoring, leakage detecting and alerting system is proposed. This paper elaborates design such an intelligent system that will help save gas and smartly prevent accidents. The system needs to be integrated with the cooker. The technology includes ultrasonic sensors that determine if the cooker is being utilized for cooking purposes or not. If it is discovered that the cooker is not in use, the system uses an automatic switching off mechanism to cut off the gas supply. The moment gas leakage will probably be recognized, users will be informed via SMS through GSM, and so that user can solve the issue as soon as possible. The system will monitor flame and fire through flame sensor. When a fire is detected, the buzzer begins to sound. Aside from that, the system also has a cloud storage capability. The usage of gas for each user each day may be tracked with the aid of this cloud storage solution. At the end of the day, this procedure will assist in detecting per-user natural gas usage. The system has been tested and it is able to monitor gas wastage, leakage and send a SMS to the user. The resulting performance indicated its effectiveness toward saving a significant portion of the wasted gas in domestic.
