Abstract

Toward a safe kitchen and stress-free LPG cylinder booking system especially in the case of illiterate households, we are proposing a cost-effective method for automation of LPG cylinder for both LPG consumer and LPG dealer along with gas leakage alert. In the current scenario of the LPG booking system, human intervention is required at the consumer end to book a cylinder. In this paper, a ESP8266 (System on Chip with onboard Wi-Fi from Espressif Systems) microcontroller with its inbuilt Wi-Fi through Internet updates the percentage of gas cylinder weight in a designated pre-designed Web site maintained by concerned LPG dealer, which makes LPG cylinder booking completely automatic. The ESP8266 microcontroller employs a load cell, whose objective is to calculate the force exerted by the LPG cylinder and generate an equivalent analog signal. This system also looks out for any gas leakage and warns the household the same.
