This paper describes the design and implementation of an ESP32-S3 based IoT device that integrates real-time gas safety monitoring with an AI-powered voice assistant, featuring enhanced user feedback and conversational context. The system’s primary aim is to combine hands-free voice interaction with a Large Language Model (LLM) and real-life MQ-2 gas detection for environmental safety monitoring. The prototype demonstrated robust performance in handling voice queries with contextual memory and environmental monitoring. This work illustrates a cost-effective and adaptable approach to developing multifunctional solutions by combining ESP 32 with modern cloud-based AI services and comprehensive user feedback mechanisms, suitable for applications in home automation, safety, and accessibility. Simultaneously, the system conducts environmental monitoring using an MQ-2 gas sensor. Upon detection of gas levels exceeding a predefined threshold (e.g., an ADC reading of 800), the system triggers a local voice alert through its speaker, activates a buzzer, and pushes notifications through both Telegram and the Blynk mobile dashboard, ensuring timely local and remote awareness.Index Terms—ESP32, IoT, Voice Assistant, Gas Detection, LLM, Conversational AI
