MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641123019 A) filed by Mlr Institute Of Technology; and Marri Laxman Reddy Institute Of Technology And Management on October 14, 2026, for Automatic Streetlight Control And Fault Detection System For Smart Cities Using Iot.
Inventors include Mr. G. Kaushik; Mrs. K. Mary; Ms. M. Maheswari; and Ms. P. Kavya.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled system for automatic streetlight control and fault detection in smart cities. The system comprises a NodeMCU ESP8266 controller, light-dependent resistor (LDR) sensors, LED streetlights, a GSM communication module, and an IoT cloud platform. The controller is configured to monitor ambient light intensity using the LDR sensors and automatically control the switching of the streetlights based on predefined illumination thresholds. The system further monitors the operational status of the streetlights using sensor feedback and determines a fault condition when the detected parameters deviate from predefined operating conditions. Upon detecting a fault, the controller initiates an alert notification to maintenance personnel through the GSM communication module and transmits the corresponding fault information to the IoT cloud platform for remote monitoring and maintenance management. The system integrates automatic illumination control, fault detection, wireless communication, and cloud-based monitoring within a unified architecture for streetlight management in smart city infrastructure.
