Welcome, It is now 2024 and in China it is the year of the Dragon.
This year's challenge is to use M5Stack products in the garden / greenhouse / farm / or any other place where you may grow things.

M5Stack product a wide range of products for electronic development and design but I have yet to see much use in the agricultural sector.
Throughout 2024 and 2025 (dependent on the seasons) I would like to see what you can make or how you use M5Stack Products to improve or enhance gardening and growing.

There is no formal registration or signup and the only rule is that wherever possible only M5Stack products must be used.
This doesn't mean that only M5Stack products must be used as things like MQTT / IOT servers are required for collecting data or external weather stations for taking reading are acceptable.

The whole point is to use electronics in the garden and have fun.
I can't wait to see what you come up with.

It was mentioned in my reply

It’s one thing to capture some data, it’s another to do the same in a scalable collective user base. That requires a distributed collection and messaging environment. Sensing and Controlling are two major branches of that challenge.

So I think this community challenge needs to think bigger than a few M5 devices. 😄

Data will be sent via MQTT to a local server for analysis and alerts. Looking forward to sharing updates!

I've wanted to experiment with automation ideas for my small balcony garden, and this challenge might be the perfect opportunity to start using my M5Stack gear finally. I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone creates!
