Cloud Connected Smart Gas Leakage Detection and Safety Precaution System

Abstract

The project aim is to design and develop a cloud connected smart LPG gas cylinder platform, acting as a safety device for detecting LPG gas leak at low levels to avoid any possible accidents. It is also capable of sensing fire breakout in the area and weight of the gas in order to provide real time monitoring and alert over Internet. If an abnormal condition is detected, the device sends an alert to the smartphone app of the user and also generates an alert e-mail to other authorities. In addition to this upon detecting a gas leakage or a fire breakout, the device automatically takes safety precautionary measures, like gas valve closing, ventilation opening, fire sprinkler activation and home electrical power supply cut-off. The device connects to the internet via Wi-Fi and thus increasing the mobility of the platform within the premises of the house. A Wi-Fi capable ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller is used to implement the system. This device offers a complete, low cost, powerful and user friendly way of real-time monitoring and remote control of gas leakages and prevention mechanisms in household and industrial areas
