Abstract
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is widely used for cooking fuel in developing countries for economic reasons, for energy-rich fuel source that contains the higher calorific value, for clean fuel with low carbon emission and for a portable that is available in even the faraway of areas. Therefore the proposed gas leakage detection and monitoring system for the gasoline content present in household LPG cylinder is developed. Usually, the capacity of LPG in cylinder is not determined in an exact manner and a cylinder when the gas is about to empty will be a difficult situation for the one who uses LPG gas for cooking continuously. By using IoT, the information of the near to the empty level of LPG gas in the cylinder will send to the user and the gas refill method by using telephonic ordering can be conducted. The purpose of this research is the detection of gas leakage and monitoring the LPG gas cylinder weight regularly to know the remaining value of gas in the cylinder. When the gas leakage is sensed, the warning signal and alarm sound will be active and also switch on exhaust fan automatically to decrease the gas concentration. The weight of LPG is measured using the load sensor (SEN-10245) and the output of the sensor is connected with Arduino MKR Wifi 1010 microcontroller. The user can know the validity of LPG usage daily because the amount of LPG gas will publish as events and watch them come through in real-time using the Wia IoT cloud platform. Consequently, the user is alerted by giving SMS notification to their mobile phone when the LPG level is critically low (below 20%) by use of the integration function of the Wia IoT platform call Twilio, using its web service APIs. Then by detecting the gas leakage with MQ6 gas sensor, this research work indicates for gas leakage condition and also helps to prevent the LPG gas burst accidents in the home.

This paper will solve the problem for detects any leakage of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) gas but removes automatically the leaked gas to prevent from fire accidents and it alerts the user by creating alarm song and warning signal. This proposed method consists of gas leakage detection system, gas cylinder weight measurement module, alert system, microcontroller, Internet of Things (IoT) system for gas consumption record and cloud communications platform for SMS
For a gas leakage detection unit, the MQ-6 gas sensor is connected with Arduino MKR WiFi 1010

THE amount of forested area in the nation is dropping and creating environmental issues because the majority of households in Myanmar depend on wood, https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8132-3263https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4148-5812https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0846-2704Manuscript received June 2, 2021; accepted October 25, 2021. LPG is one of the by products resulting from the refining of petroleum, being predominantly composed of the mixture of two hydrocarbons, Propane (C3H8) and Butane (C4H10). Cooler conditions, it transforms into a liquid state, and is relatively stable. This facilitates their storage and useful in domestic sectors for cooking. LPG could play a vital role in Myanmar, helping the environment and excellent substitute for firewood and charcoal. The availability and accessibility of LPG are increasing as ordinary usage across Myanmar in place of firewood and charcoal for cooking. LPG (either Butane or Propane), is a colorless odorless liquid and contains in the cylinder on the highly concentrated state
