1. Introduction
This project involves the development of an LPG gas detection and alert
system using the ESP32 microcontroller. The system is designed to detect
the presence of LPG gas in the environment and send real-time alerts
through various channels, including an email notification, a sound alarm,
and a notification via the Blynk IoT app. This project is aimed at enhancing
safety by providing early warnings in case of gas leakage, making it suitable
for use in homes, industries, and other environments where LPG gas is
commonly used.

2. Components Required
• ESP32 Microcontroller
• MQ-2 Gas Sensor
• Buzzer
• LED Indicator
• Resistors
• Jumper Wires
• Power Supply (5V or 3.3V)
• Breadboard
• Blynk IoT App
• Email Service Setup

3. Components Information
• ESP32 Microcontroller: A low-cost, low-power system on a chip with Wi-
Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, which serves as the main controller and
manages the communication and sensor data processing.
• MQ-2 Gas Sensor: A sensor used to detect the concentration of LPG,
propane, and methane gases in the air.
• Buzzer: Provides an audible alert when gas is detected.
• LED Indicator: Visually indicates the status of the system (e.g., gas
detected or normal operation).
• Resistors: Used to limit the current in the circuit.
• Jumper Wires: Connect the components.
• Power Supply: Provides the necessary power to the circuit.
• Breadboard: A platform to build the prototype circuit without soldering.
• Blynk IoT App: A mobile application used to receive notifications and
monitor the status of the system remotely.
• Email Service: Configured to send email alerts when gas is detected.

Note: Insert images of each component in the space provided.

4. Working Principle
The system continuously monitors the environment for the presence of LPG
gas using the MQ-2 gas sensor. When the sensor detects a concentration of
gas above a certain threshold, it sends a signal to the ESP32. The ESP32
then triggers multiple alerts: it activates a buzzer for an audible warning,
lights up an LED for visual indication, sends an email alert to a pre-
configured address, and pushes a notification through the Blynk IoT app.
The integration of multiple alert systems ensures that the user is informed
promptly, regardless of their location.

5. Circuit Design
This section will include a schematic of the system’s circuit connections.
The ESP32 microcontroller is connected to the MQ-2 gas sensor to read the
gas concentration. The buzzer and LED are connected to the ESP32 to
provide alerts. The circuit is powered by a 5V or 3.3V power supply. The
breadboard is used to assemble the components for prototyping. The ESP32
is also connected to the Wi-Fi network to enable email alerts and
notifications through the Blynk IoT app.
6. Software Implementation
The system's functionality is controlled by a program written for the ESP32
microcontroller. The code continuously reads the gas sensor data, checks it
against the threshold, and triggers alerts when the threshold is exceeded. The
software also manages the Wi-Fi connection for sending email alerts and
communicating with the Blynk IoT app. Libraries such as Wi-Fi and Blynk
are used to handle the communication tasks. The system is configurable,
allowing the user to set the threshold levels and adjust the alert mechanisms.

7. Applications
• Home Safety: Detects gas leaks in kitchens and other areas where LPG is
used, providing early warnings to prevent accidents.
• Industrial Safety: Monitors gas levels in industrial settings where LPG or
other flammable gases are used, ensuring worker safety.
• Commercial Use: Can be installed in restaurants, hotels, and other
commercial establishments that use LPG for cooking and heating.

8. Conclusion
This project demonstrates the design and implementation of a smart LPG
gas detection and alert system using the ESP32. By integrating multiple alert
mechanisms, including email, app notifications, and audible/visual alarms,
the system ensures comprehensive monitoring and quick response in case of
gas leaks. The project highlights the use of IoT technology to enhance safety
and provides a practical solution for homes, industries, and commercial
settings.
