Inventor(s) include Hemalatha. S; Sanjay. R; Nikilbavishnu. N; Preethika. T; and Philbert Rowin. A.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The proposed invention, an loT-based Smart Plant Monitoring System, is designed to automate the process of monitoring and maintaining plant health using modem . Internet of Things (loT) technology. The system integrates multiple sensors, including a soil moisture sensor and a temperature-humidity sensor (DHTll), with a Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller (NodeMCU ESP8266) to collect and transmit realtime environmental data to a cloud-based platform. Through the Blynk mobile application, users can remotely monitor parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, and humidity, and control the water pump from any location. The system's primary function is to detect the soil's moisture level and activate a relay-controlled water pump automatically when the moisture level falls below a preset threshold. Once the required moisture level is restored, the pump is switched off to prevent over-irrigation. This process ensures optimal water usage, reduces human effort, and prevents both water wastage and plant damage due to improper watering. The invention demonstrates how loT can be applied in the field of smart agriculture and home gardening to create an efficient, low-cost, and user-friendly solution for plant care. It offers the advantages of automation, remote accessibility, and datadriven monitoring; making it suitable for domestic gardens, greenhouses, and smallscale agricultural fields. The project emphasizes sustainability by promoting water conservation and reducing manual labor, aligning with the vision of developing smarter and more eco-friendly technological solutions for everyday life."
