Gas Detector Using MQ2 on ESP32 and Blynk App

INTRODUCTION

The MQ-2 Gas sensor can detect or measure gasses like LPG, Alcohol, Propane, Hydrogen, CO, and even methane. With this sensor, we can build a gas leak detector to check if there is a gas leak and send a notification to our mobile phone. Watch this video to know how to make a gas detector using ESP32 and Blynk App.
