This project uses an Arduino, an LPG gas sensor, a buzzer, and a fan to detect gas leaks. If gas is detected, the buzzer makes a sound and the fan turns on to warn you. This helps keep your home safe by alerting you quickly to dangerous gas leaks, so you can act right away. It’s an easy way to improve safety and prevent accidents from gas leaks.
