ABSTRACT

This research paper presents the development of an LPG gas detection system utilizing the capabilities of the ESP32 microcontroller and email notification functionalities. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), a widely used fuel source, poses a significant threat due to potential fire and explosion hazards in case of leaks. This project addresses this concern by proposing a cost-effective and user-friendly solution for early leak detection. The system employs an MQ-series sensor specifically designed for LPG detection. The sensor's output voltage changes in response to LPG concentration in the surrounding air. This data is acquired by the ESP32 microcontroller and processed to trigger email notifications when gas levels exceed a pre-defined threshold indicative of a potential leak. This allows for remote monitoring and prompt intervention, potentially mitigating safety risks associated with LPG usage in homes and industries. The paper further discusses the system's functionality, development process, and potential applications, along with suggestions for future improvements.
