LPG Leakage Detection System

Arduino MQ-6 IoT Embedded Systems Safety

Started: July 1, 2023

Completed: July 15, 2023

Duration: 2 Weeks

Project Overview

A safety-focused IoT system designed to detect LPG leaks using an MQ-6 sensor. Upon detecting a leak, the system automatically triggers a servo motor to shut off the gas valve, preventing further hazard. An audible buzzer and an automated night cutoff add extra layers of safety. This project is rooted in the real-life tragedy of a gas explosion that claimed a womanโ€™s life, highlighting the importance of proactive safety measures.
