KITCHEN GAS LEVEL MONITORING: LEAK DETECTION WITH GAS BLOCK, AND VISUAL ACCESSIBILITY WITH LIGHT SIGNALING

Abstract

The present work describes an accessibility and automation project, in a residential process that aims to solve a common problem in Brazilian homes, which is: not being able to identify the amount of cooking gas that is available, leaving this monitoring in charge of manual practices, as well as the discovery of gas leaks is left to the user's perception only by smell, that is, there is no more efficient identification and action mechanism; and aiming to provide more accessibility to people with visual difficulties, the kitchen condiments can be seen through the condiment holders with color identification LEDs and signaling their location in the kitchen through the oscillation of the emitted light. Therefore, the project proposal aims to monitor the gas level from the weight of the cylinder, detect gas leaks, as well as the luminous location of condiments in the kitchen. Part of this initiative will be through a practical application through Arduino, along with sensors and monitoring aid components; using features of easy access and low cost, in addition to being easy to use, to provide convenience and practicality in managing this feature.
