Abstract: The widespread use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in households and industries presents a significant risk due to its highly flammable nature, making early detection of leaks for preventing accidents. Traditional LPG detection methods often rely on manual monitoring, which may not provide timely alerts or automatic responses to prevent accidents. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of physical objects, or “things,” embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies that enable them to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet. The advantage of the Internet of Things (IoT) offers new opportunities to safety systems through real-time monitoring and remote alerts. By integrating IoT technology with LPG leak detection, it is possible to create a responsive and reliable safety system. This device focuses on the development of an IoT-based LPG tank leakage detection system with alarm and auto-off system, designed to detect leaks, sound an alarm, and automatically shut off the gas supply or even remotely turn off the valve through an android-based application to prevent accidents. The system uses IoT for real-time data transmission and remote monitoring, allowing users to receive instant notifications and take immediate action, even when away from the premises. The system uses gas sensors to continuously monitor LPG levels, triggering an immediate response in the event of a leak. Integrated with IoT technology, the system provides real-time alerts to users via android-based application, ensuring prompt action.
