Batteryless IoT systems have largely followed two paths: ambient-energy sensing, where energy arrival is decoupled from the event being monitored, and kinetic event telegrams, where a user actuation powers a short report of the actuation itself. Mechanically gated states expose a third case: the access motion is not only an event to report, but the moment at which a latent physical state may have changed and must be measured. We show that routine hinge motion can supply enough energy for one bounded wake-sense-transmit transaction, including ultrasonic sensing and a long-range LoRa uplink. We call this principle motion-coupled sensing and instantiate it with an open-source compact electromagnetic harvester that retrofits to bins, doors, and cabinets with no structural modification. We size the platform for the most demanding workload, waste-bin monitoring, where each actuation must power both an ultrasonic measurement and a long-range LoRa uplink. Across five campus locations and 5,945 lid actuations, the bin deployment achieves 99.3% per-event transmission reliability. Field deployments on room doors with 1,870 actuations and office cabinets with 1,636 actuations achieve 92% and 94% transmission success respectively, demonstrating that the same energy envelope transfers across hinge geometries without hardware redesign. These results show that mechanical access can be treated as a self-powered sensing transaction, removing periodic polling and scheduled battery maintenance for IoT deployments.

We present Kissan-Dost, a multilingual, sensor-grounded conversational system that turns live on-farm measurements and weather into plain-language guidance delivered over WhatsApp text or voice. The system couples commodity soil and climate sensors with retrieval-augmented generation, then enforces grounding, traceability, and proactive alerts through a modular pipeline. In a 90-day, two-site pilot with five participants, we ran three phases (baseline, dashboard only, chatbot only). Dashboard engagement was sporadic and faded, while the chatbot was used nearly daily and informed concrete actions. Controlled tests on 99 sensor-grounded crop queries achieved over 90 percent correctness with subsecond end-to-end latency, alongside high-quality translation outputs. Results show that careful last-mile integration, not novel circuitry, unlocks the latent value of existing Agri-IoT for smallholders.

Large Language Models (LLMs) process millions of queries daily, making efficient response caching a compelling optimization for reducing cost and latency. However, preserving relevance to user queries using this approach proves difficult due to the personalized nature of chatbot interactions and the limited accuracy of semantic similarity search. To address this, we present TweakLLM, a novel routing architecture that employs a lightweight LLM to dynamically adapt cached responses to incoming prompts. Through comprehensive evaluation, including user studies with side-by-side comparisons, satisfaction voting, as well as multi-agent LLM debates, we demonstrate that TweakLLM maintains response quality comparable to frontier models while significantly improving cache effectiveness. Our results across real-world datasets highlight TweakLLM as a scalable, resource-efficient caching solution for high-volume LLM deployments without compromising user experience.
