 SMART CRADLE SYSTEM IOT
ABSTRACT
The primary aim of implementing a Smart Cradle System using IoT (Internet of Things) technology is
to enhance infant safety, comfort, and parental peace of mind through advanced monitoring and automated
control capabilities. Specifically, the aims include:

MATERIAL REQUIRED
 Sensors
 Actuators
 Microcontroller
 IoT Gateway
 Cloud Platform
 User Interface
SOFTWARE REQUIRED
ARDUINO IDE
ESP8266 PROCESSOR

PROCEDURE
 Hardware Setup:

 Connect the sensors (temperature, humidity, motion) to the ESP8266 board using digital or analog pins,
ensuring they are powered and grounded properly.
 Connect actuators (fan, humidifier, etc.) to appropriate output pins of the ESP8266 board, ensuring they
can be controlled through relays or directly if they support low current operation.
 Programming:
 Use Arduino IDE or PlatformIO with ESP8266 libraries to program the microcontroller.
 Implement code to read sensor data (temperature, humidity, motion) and control actuators based on
predefined thresholds or commands received.

 Wi-Fi Connectivity:
 Configure the ESP8266 to connect to your local Wi-Fi network using its built-in Wi-Fi capabilities.
 Implement MQTT or HTTP protocols for communication between the ESP8266 and a cloud platform or
local server for data logging and remote control.

 Cloud Integration:
 Use platforms like AWS IoT, Google Cloud IoT, or Adafruit IO to store sensor data and manage device
interactions.
 Implement secure communication protocols (e.g., HTTPS, MQTT over TLS) to protect data transmitted
over the internet.

 User Interface:
 Develop a mobile application (using platforms like Blynk, Thinger.io, or custom app development) or
web interface to visualize sensor data, receive alerts, and control actuators remotely.
 Integrate push notifications or email alerts for abnormal conditions detected by sensors (e.g., high
temperature, no motion).

 Testing and Calibration:

 Test the system thoroughly to ensure sensors are accurately detecting environmental conditions and
actuators respond appropriately to commands.
 Calibrate sensors if necessary to improve accuracy and reliability.

 Security:
 Implement security best practices, such as using secure protocols for communication,
encrypting sensitive data, and implementing authentication mechanisms to prevent
unauthorized access.

CONCLUSION
The Smart Cradle System project demonstrates the effective integration of IoT technology to enhance
infant care and safety. By leveraging sensors, actuators, and a cloud-based platform, the system provides
caregivers with real-time monitoring, alerts, and automated controls. Future enhancements could include
additional sensor integration, AI-driven analytics, and further customization options based on user feedback.
