G.A.S.SY- Gas Automated Safety System

Description

Across India, thousands of fire incidents are caused every year by unnoticed gas leaks, overheating, and unattended cooking—turning ordinary kitchens into dangerous spaces. Traditional safety devices are either too expensive, too limited, or fail to act automatically when danger begins.

G.A.S.S.Y solves this by acting as a smart, IoT-enabled safety add-on that prevents gas-related accidents before they escalate. Built to integrate with existing gas stoves, it automatically detects leaks, shuts off gas flow, cuts kitchen power, activates alarms, and instantly alerts the user—all without requiring any manual intervention.

At the heart of the system is the ESP32 microcontroller, which continuously collects real-time data from a suite of sensors:

• MQ-135 Gas Sensor to detect harmful gas concentrations

• Temperature Sensor to track overheating

• Optional Flame Sensor for flame abnormality detection

These inputs allow G.A.S.S.Y to make intelligent decisions in seconds.
When dangerous gas levels or abnormal conditions are detected, the ESP32 activates a chain of automated safety responses:

1. Gas Cut-off Valve: Immediately stops gas flow to prevent ignition

2. Buzzer + LED: Alerts everyone nearby through sound and visual signals

3. Exhaust Fan Relay: Turns on the kitchen exhaust to disperse trapped gas

4. Power Cut-off Relay: Cuts electricity to eliminate spark risks if the leak continues

5. Phone Notification + Cloud Log: Sends instant alerts to the user and stores event data online

An Emergency Reset switch allows safe manual control after the danger is resolved.
The entire system runs through a 5V power supply with battery backup, ensuring it works even during power cuts—an essential requirement for Indian homes.

What makes G.A.S.S.Y smart and unique is its multi-layered safety approach. Unlike single-purpose sensors, it not only detects danger but also responds automatically, combining gas shut-off, electrical isolation, ventilation control, and remote alerts in one affordable unit. No existing consumer device in its price range offers this breadth of protection.

Designed specifically for Indian households, G.A.S.S.Y addresses real pain points—frequent LPG usage, ageing stoves, unreliable ventilation, and low awareness of early leak signs. Its low cost, simple installation, and powerful safety automation make it accessible to millions of families.

Because it solves a widespread, high-risk, and emotionally urgent problem—kitchen safety—G.A.S.S.Y has a strong potential to succeed. Its affordability, simplicity, and life-saving impact give it a clear edge to scale across homes, apartments, hostels, small eateries, and commercial kitchens. G.A.S.S.Y is not just a product—it is a critical safety upgrade that every household deserves.
