This project presents the development of a compact and affordable gas detector designed to enhance household safety by providing efficient gas leak detection. Unlike conventional detectors that are bulky, costly, and primarily suited for industrial or commercial settings, the proposed device is optimized for residential use, particularly in kitchens where gas appliances are common.

The detector utilizes the MQ-2 gas sensor, known for its high sensitivity to gases such as propane and methane, ensuring accurate detection of even minor leaks. It is equipped with a buzzer for audible alerts, an LED indicator for visual warnings, and a user-friendly on/off switch. Powered by a replaceable 9V battery, the device offers easy installation and maintenance without requiring technical expertise. When a gas leak is detected, the system promptly activates both sound and light alerts, enabling immediate user response to prevent accidents.

By integrating simplicity, reliability, and affordability, this gas detector provides an effective safety solution tailored for home environments, contributing to the prevention of gas-related hazards and promoting peace of mind for homeowners.
