All prizes not claimed within 6 months will be put back into the prize pool. Please note that some items may require payment of customs charges when they arrive in destination countries.

Also, note that if something has a battery in it, it pretty much always means stress with sending them. These rules seem arbitrary and subject to constant change, so where possible, we'll ship things without the batteries and let you find one locally.

Electromaker contests are separate from the Electromaker store (I literally go to the post office to send prizes) so beyond giving tracking details there isn't a lot we can do if something goes missing.

I really enjoyed listening to the interview. Thanks Ian

Definitely need more initiatives like this if we are to sustain a non-Apple/Android future for smartphones.

My Project idea is to create a demo village for LoRaWAN Appliances - as i work as a technical consultant and LoRaWANFLUENCER that is coming along nicely. Its focused on germany and currently my favorite Use Case is water level, water temperature and pump control for the local outdoor pool in my village :)

Someone has been manipulating the filters and thus draining the whole huge pool as the pump did not recognize the pressure drop and kept pumping for days.
This will save water and enable an in depth monitoring, as well as displayable data on their website about water temperature :)

Really interested if they settle on an onboard MC like a RP2040/2350, STM, ESP or similar

Gonne build a iot system for my graden with #BLUESLORA

[matdave]

A whole home air quality monitor system would be cool to incorporate with the Blues LoRaWAN Starter Kit. It would be pretty nice to know the status in different areas of my house during different seasons.

[LorenMJ]

I need to know if the train is blocking the road down the street. If the train has passed recently or is currently stopped there then let me know on a status indicator. So I can go the other way. I would think I could chain some Lora devices the 1/2 mile down the road to get the data. Just need to detect movement of a large train passing by a sensor.

My project idea is to make a status monitoring of the condition of the lighting used in chemical factories. #BLUESLORA

[yiftachbeer]

I'd love to build a remote agriculture thingy with a #BLUESLORA
An by the way Ian, seeing the amount of people mentioning agriculture/garden stuff in the comments, maybe we can get more coverage of agriculture-related maker projects?

#BLUESLORA
I want to create a prototype for Condition based monitoring of rotating equipment using #BLUESLORA....I will receive the machines data, including vibration temperature sound and others data, data will be transfered on cloud where i have created dashboard to perform AI analytics and FFT spectrum. I am waiting curiously for BLUES LoRaWAN 🎉 then will set the stage ❤
