The system uses an MQ-6 gas sensor to monitor combustible gases such as LPG, propane, and methane with high sensitivity. When the gas concentration exceeds a predefined threshold, the system immediately activates safety mechanisms, including a buzzer alert and an exhaust fan, to reduce gas levels in the environment. The core controller, NodeMCU (ESP8266), enables wireless communication through Wi-Fi, allowing the system to connect with the Blynk mobile application for remote monitoring. It also displays warning messages on an LCD screen, ensuring both local and remote alerts. This dual-alert mechanism helps users take immediate action even when they are not physically present. The system is cost-effective, energy-efficient, and easy to install, making it suitable for residential, commercial, and small-scale industrial applications. By providing continuous monitoring, early detection, and rapid response, it significantly reduces the risk of fire accidents, explosions, and health hazards caused by gas leakage. Overall, the integration of sensor technology with IoT improves safety and helps protect human life and property effectively.</em></p> 2026-06-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of IoT-based Distributed Sensor Networks (e-ISSN: 3048-9202)
