IoT-Based Hazardous Gas Detector
Overview
Developed a real-time IoT-based hazardous gas detection system designed to monitor indoor air quality and prevent catastrophic accidents caused by invisible gas leaks. This project integrates hardware prototyping with software programming to create a reliable and responsive safety device.
The system utilizes highly sensitive gas sensors to continuously measure the concentration of flammable and toxic gases in the environment. When the detected gas levels exceed predefined safety thresholds, the microcontroller instantly processes the data to trigger local physical alarms (buzzers/LEDs) and transmits real-time alerts to a digital dashboard via an IoT platform, ensuring remote monitoring capabilities.
Methodology & Frameworks
Hardware Prototyping
Designed circuit architecture combining a Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller with MQ-series analog sensors for accurate environmental data acquisition.
IoT Integration
Programmed firmware in C/C++ to interface with cloud services, enabling instant push notifications and live data visualization over the internet.
Key Impact
Provides an automated, early-warning mechanism that significantly enhances workplace and residential safety, demonstrating the practical application of electronics and IoT technology in mitigating critical environmental hazards.
