MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611060770 A) filed by Dr Jyoti Sharma; Dr Anil Kumar; Dr Amit Mahajan; Dr Vijay Kumar; Dr Jai Kapoor; and Anshu on May 13, 2026, for Smart Irrigation Controller Using Soil Moisture And Weather Forecast Integration.
Inventors include Dr Jyoti Sharma; Dr Anil Kumar; Dr Amit Mahajan; Dr Vijay Kumar; Dr Jai Kapoor; and Anshu.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a smart irrigation controller system (100) integrating a soil moisture sensing subsystem (110) comprising capacitive sensor nodes (112) deployed at multiple soil depths, a weather forecast integration module (120) comprising an API client (122) and real-time clock module (124), a central processing unit (130) executing adaptive decision logic to compute soil moisture deficit and net irrigation requirement by fusing real-time soil moisture data with forecast precipitation parameters, a valve actuation module (140) with solenoid valves (142) for multi-zone independent water delivery, a solar-assisted power management unit (150), a wireless communication module (160) for MQTT-based cloud connectivity, and a user interface module (170) cloud dashboard, mobile application (174), and notification engine (172). The system suppresses or adjusts irrigation cycles when forecast rainfall is sufficient to meet the soil moisture deficit, achieves precision water application by supplying only the net deficit volume, and enables remote monitoring and control.
