GAS LEVEL DETECTION AND AUTOMATIC BOOKING USING IoT

Abstract

LPG is widely used for cooking in many countries for economic reasons, for convenience or because it is the preferred fuel source. This paper focuses on the application of the IoT which is used for measuring and displaying the gasoline content present in household LPG cylinder and this is helpful in automatic booking of new LPG cylinder and also detect the gas leakage. Usually the capacity of LPG in Cylinder is not determined, so we are going to display the level of LPG. The level of LPG is measured using load sensor (SEN-10245). The output of the sensor is connected with Arduino R3. By use of GSM Module, the information is sent to user by SMS (short messaging service) and also automatic booking is done by dialling the registered gas booking number. Then the gas leakage is detected by gas sensor (MQ-6). By using this, we can detect the current LPG level and it is continuously displayed on the LCD. We can know the validity of LPG usage from the date of initialization. By use of IOT the user is alerted by giving the message to their mobile phone when the LPG level is critically low (below 20%). Automatic booking of new LPG by auto dialling of gas booking number and by this we prevent pre-booking and late booking. Then by detecting the gas leakage we can prevent the LPG gas burst accidents in the home.

Existing System

Gas detection using microcontroller and alarm

Proposed System

Gas level detection and automatic booking is designed with various features which is implemented using Arduino R3 and this device will be a single system with multiple applications for LPG consumers. The device monitors the load if the gas level and displays it within the alphanumeric display incessantly. It also detects the gas leakage by gas senor. This includes an additional feature of booking a new LPG cylinder when the gas level becomes critically low. Then its sends an alert to the registered mobile number by a SMS with the help of GSM module and the alert database are displayed in the system monitor.
