Abstract :
As the population grows, the use of LPG also increases to meet the primary human
needs, namely cooking food. However, there is a negative impact from the use of LPG,
namely LPG is more flammable in the air. Almost every year there will be fires caused
by LPG leaks. The fire occurred due to negligence due to not realizing when an LPG
gas leak occurred. One solution is to use an LPG gas leak detector. In this study, we
will discuss the manufacture and workings of an LPG gas leak detector. The detection
system in this study consists of ESP8266 as a microcontroller that can be connected to
the internet, MQ-6 sensor, buzzer, and 12V DC motor. The method used to detect LPG
gas leaks is to place the MQ-6 sensor close to the LPG regulator. When the MQ-6
sensor detects an LPG gas leak >= 800, the system will send a notification "AWAS
GAS BOCOR" on the Telegram Bot account as a warning that an LPG gas leak has
occurred, then the buzzer will activate accompanied by an active 12V DC motor
rotating to open the lever. LPG regulator for 20 seconds.
