How does it work : 

Hardware’s Required:

1. Arduino Uno  => BUY
2. ESP8266 Wifi Module => BUY
3. Jumper Wires => BUY
4. LED => BUY
5. Buzzer => BUY

Steps for Creating Project:

1. Hardware Connection
2. Configuring ThingSpeak Cloud for uploading Sensor Values
3. Make changes to Code & Upload

Now click on the “New Channel” Give it a
name and select two fields. If you want you can fill more info about
your channel, e.g. Latitude and Longitude of your sensor. If you want to
share sensor info with your friends (and more..) click on the “Make
Public?” check box option. Finally click on the “Save Channel” button.

press
new channel and select the API keys tab (third image above). Copy your
“Write API Key” , you will need it in the next step.

Step 3 : The Code 

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial espSerial =  SoftwareSerial(2,3);      // arduino RX pin=2  arduino TX pin=3    connect the arduino RX pin to esp8266 module TX pin   -  connect the arduino TX pin to esp8266 module RX pin

String apiKey = "5G0NEIEWV7FQWERTY";     // replace with your channel's thingspeak WRITE API key

String ssid="kavin";    // Wifi network SSID

String password ="12345612";  // Wifi network password

boolean DEBUG=true;

#define VOLTAGE_MAX 5.0

#define VOLTAGE_MAXCOUNTS 1023.0

}

cmd += "",80";

espSerial.println(cmd);

if (DEBUG) Serial.println(cmd);

if(espSerial.find("Error")){

if (DEBUG) Serial.println("AT+CIPSTART error");

return false;

}







String getStr = "GET /update?api_key=";   // prepare GET string

cmd += String(getStr.length());

espSerial.println(cmd);

if (DEBUG)  Serial.println(cmd);

delay(100);

if(espSerial.find(">")){

espSerial.print(getStr);

if (DEBUG)  Serial.print(getStr);

}

else{

espSerial.println("AT+CIPCLOSE");

// alert user

if (DEBUG)   Serial.println("AT+CIPCLOSE");

return false;

}

return true;

}

//================================================================================ setup

void setup() {

pinMode(sensor,INPUT);

Serial.begin(9600); 

espSerial.begin(115200);  // enable software serial

// Your esp8266 module's speed is probably at 115200. 

// For this reason the first time set the speed to 115200 or to your esp8266 configured speed 

// and upload. Then change to 9600 and upload again




//espSerial.println("AT+RST");         // Enable this line to reset the module;

//showResponse(1000);




//espSerial.println("AT+UART_CUR=9600,8,1,0,0");    // Enable this line to set esp8266 serial speed to 9600 bps

espSerial.println("AT+CWMODE=1");   // set esp8266 as client

showResponse(1000);




espSerial.println("AT+CWJAP=""+ssid+"",""+password+""");  // set your home router SSID and password

showResponse(5000);




if (DEBUG)  Serial.println("Setup completed");

}







// ======================================================================= loop

void loop() {




//---------my gas sensor value reading-------------------




gas_value=analogRead(sensor);

Serial.println(gas_value);

delay(1);  //delay in between reads for stability 

if(gas_value>250){




// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.




digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);

//delay(250);

// digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);

//delay(250);




float t = gas_value*(VOLTAGE_MAX / VOLTAGE_MAXCOUNTS); //convert gas value to voltages




if (isnan(t)) {

if (DEBUG) Serial.println("Failed to read from MQ5");

}




else{

if (DEBUG)  Serial.println("Voltage="+String(t));

thingSpeakWrite(t);             // Write values to thingspeak

}

// thingspeak needs 15 sec delay between updates, */    

delay(20000);  

}

else{

digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);

}

}

Just edit these lines with your information in the code & upload it to Arduino :

String apiKey = “5G0NEIEWV7FQWERTY”; -ThingSpeak key 
String ssid=”kavin”; – Wifi Hotspot Name
String password =”12345612″; – Wfi Password

Once
the code editing is done upload it & Use a Gas/Cigarette lighter
near sensor in gas leak condition you will see a change in sensor value
in serial monitor and also able to see push API key data update in
monitor. 

Serial Monitor Output When Gas Leakage Detected:

Monitor Thing Speak Channel Output:

Our code is written in a way that if there is gas leakage then a sensor value will be pushed to ThingSpeak Channel.

POSTING TO PUSHBULLET VIA THINGSPEAK

Were do you start?

Step 1: setup the PushBullet service (free)
“Pushbullet is an internet service which for SMS sending, notification management and file sending between your mobile devices and pc..”
First you need to go to PushBullet and make a new free account. Activate your account, login in the website and you will see the next screen:



Select and press mobile OS type ex android or IOS or go in the apps market / Google play in case of android and search for “PushBullet” and setup the application on your mobile device with the help of account you’ve just created. After that you should see your mobile smartphone in the Devices menu.

Go to Settings menu of the app where you have create a new Access Token by clicking Create Access Token button.




Get the access token and save it to a notepad text file.

Step 2: Setup the ThingSpeak Http, React App:

Step by step guide on configuring ThingSpeak
to auto post to PushBullet, I use ESP8266’s but the you can use this
for anything posting to ThingSpeak. I’ve been messing with the ESP8266
chips, a really cheap Wifi SoC that can be used with Arduino, but also
with the right firmware can be used on their own without a master
control processor. 


So
the point of this step is to figure out how to send information to
PushBullet via ThingSpeak. This is really a part two to an article I
haven’t written yet, but as the hackanons article has already described
how to program an arduino & 8266 and post to ThingSpeak I will
expect you to have done that and we continue from there.




I
have created a channel called MQ5 SENSOR VALUE. It doesn’t really do
anything except take a “Field1” input, which I only ever send a value
ofsensor. Because In my instance I only ever log something to ThingSpeak
if the sensor detectssome Gas Leakage.
Of course on your project you can use any existing channel and check any field for a value in that to trigger a notification.

Next we need to create the ThingSpeak App based on “ThingHTTP”. Click on Apps in the
Menu bar and then select ‘ThingHTTP’

Now Click New ThingHTTP button & Fill Out the Form.
