4. PROPOSED SYSTEM

The IoT-based smart cradle monitoring system employs

a NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller interfaced with
multiple sensors to ensure infant safety and comfort.
A DHT11 sensor monitors real-time temperature and
humidity, while a water/rain sensor detects liquid presence
(e.g., spills or urine). A soil moisture sensor checks diaper
wetness, and a sound sensor identifies infant crying. The
NodeMCU processes all sensor data and transmits it
wirelessly via the MQTT protocol to a cloud-based IoT
panel app (e.g., Cayenne or Blynk) for remote monitoring
and alerts. When the sound sensor detects crying (sound
intensity >60dB), a servo motor automatically activates to
rock the cradle. If any abnormal conditions are detected—
such as high temperature (>30°C), excessive humidity
(>70%), or moisture—the system triggers a buzzer for local
alerts while simultaneously pushing real-time notifications

(e.g., babycradle/temperature). Caregivers can monitor all
parameters and receive instant alerts through the intuitive HARDWARE SETUP
IoT dashboard, ensuring prompt response to critical events.
This design eliminates the need for physical displays (LCD)
by leveraging cloud visualization, while maintaining
reliability through local buzzer alerts that function even
during network interruptions. The servo motor includes an
auto-shutoff feature after 2 minutes of continuous operation
to conserve power. By combining multi-sensor data fusion
with efficient MQTT communication, the system delivers a
robust, cost-effective solution for modern infant care.
