This paper presents a case study in the creation and utilization of an Internet of Things (IoT) device. An Arduino-based gas leak detector is utilized for the demonstration of IoT technologies and their advantages. The gas leak detection device focuses on detection of Liquified Petroleum gas. Upon detection of a leak, the device can communicate over the internet using cellular networks, thus helping to alleviate Wi-Fi and ethernet failure issues such as loss of power in a natural disaster. Because of the device’s resilience, it can help ensure the user is notified of the emergency as soon as possible. This automated gas leak monitoring system is reliable and will not be put out of action in a disaster or emergency situation.
