Abstract

Gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a chemical substance resultant from petroleum and could be dangerous in industrial places or those that deal with this substance. Gas leakage causes many health issues. So, to prevent such catastrophes and in order to maintain a clean air environment, the workspace atmosphere should be frequently monitored and controlled. The proposed monitoring gas leakage detector system is based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. NodeMCU ESP8266 Wi-Fi is used to be the microcontroller for the whole system. The combustible gas sensor (MQ2) is used in order to detect the presence of methane (CH4) and carbon monoxide gas (CO). MQ2 sensor will detect the concentration of the gas according to the voltage output of the sensor and the ESP8266 will send the data reading from the gas sensor to Blynk IoT platform over an IOS phone; data visualization is done using Thingspeak IoT Platform. Besides, a fan will immediately work upon the leakage occurs along with an alarming buzzer.
