Smart Smoke and Gas Leakage Detection System

Project Domain/Category:
IoT/Embedded system programming

Abstract/Introduction:
Gas detectors have been widely used in the industry depending on their characteristics. Such that
which type of gas they can detect like LPG (in case of cylinders), any other hazardous/flammable gas
or they can be used to detect the poisonous gas etc. Also, the gas detectors can be fixed or portable
means they can be able to move around in the space where required. They can be applicable on a
large scale like in industries; hospitals etc. or they can be miniaturized to be used in home security
such as in kitchen or in any other room. Our idea is to develop a smoke and gas leakage detector
that can detect the leakage of natural gas used commonly in almost every house in stoves in
Pakistan.

An IoT based smart sensor system must be developed to overcome the above-mentioned issue. We
will use Arduino Uno that will serve as a microcontroller. The IDE aids in programming the
instruction written as C++ code for the Arduino board. It can relate with the LEDs, motors, buttons,
Wi-Fi module etc. As soon as the fire is detected, the signal will be sent to the micro-controller
which will then send appropriate data to the LCD and the GSM/Wi-Fi module.
The notification about the smoke/gas leakage is then sent to the user or the neighbors via a mobile
application. So, an android based mobile application needs to be developed for this purpose.

Functional Requirements:
Hardware Module:
Smart smoke and gas leakage detector will be mainly composed of the following components:
 Arduino UNO
 Buzzer
 MQ 5 (smoke and gas sensor)
 Node MCU
 2 channel Relay module
 Vero board
 Jumper wires

Mobile Application (Android):

 The application must be able to generate alerts to the user and/or the neighbors, so that
appropriate action must be taken.
 Alerts must also be sent to the Rescue team through SMS & Voice Call (Automated Call
recording)

Tools:
 Arduino UNO kit or any other single board processor (e.g. Raspberry pie)
 Circuit components (as given in functional requirements)
  Smoke/Gas sensor
 GPS module
 GSM/Wi-Fi module
 Android Studio
 Web APIs
 C/C++ programming.
 (Arduino.cc) IDE may also be used.
