Snoozle : Design and Development of an IoT based Smart Cradle

Infant care requires continuous attention, which can be challenging for caregivers, especially in busy or working environments. To address this, this paper presents an IoT-based Smart Cradle System that enables real-time monitoring and automated assistance for infant care.The system integrates multiple sensors to monitor parameters such as sound, temperature, humidity, moisture, and movement. A microcontroller processes this data and performs necessary actions when required. Key features of the system include automatic cradle swinging, toy activation, and a user-controlled lullaby system, allowing caregivers to remotely soothe the infant as needed.Additionally, the system incorporates a camera module for live video monitoring along with face detection capabilities, enabling enhanced safety and awareness of the infant's condition. A web-based interface provides remote access for monitoring sensor data and controlling cradle operations in real time.The proposed system offers a reliable and efficient solution that improves infant safety, comfort, and caregiver convenience through smart automation and intelligent monitoring.
