ABSTRACT-
The main aim of this project is to detect the Gas Leakage that can be detected by using Sensor. These sensors are widely used to
detect essence of harmful gaseous. Buzzer gives an Audible sign in the presence of gas. Many accidents occur in day to day life
like explosion because of gas leakage. Major harm is caused, if gas leakage is not detected early. But now we can detect the gas
leakage using the gas sensor and in this IOT gas leakage detector, such IOT as well as Arduino based gas leakage detector
systems canbe installed in homes, hotels and LPG gas storage areas. In this gas detector system it senses the gas leakage. If the
gas in air is normal then the LED on the circuit will glow green giving a safe sign and whenever sensor senses the gas then the
red led glow i.e., green goes off, sends a message and make a phone call to the owner and power goes off. So, this IOT based
intelligent gas detector project will help in detecting the gas leakage in the surrounding areas.

problem and nowadays it is observed in many places like
residences, industries, and vehicles like Compressed Natural
Gas (CNG), buses, cars, etc. It is noticed that due to gas
leakage, dangerous accidents occur. The Liquefied petroleum
gas (LPG), or propane, is a flammable mixture of
hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in many applications like
