The project appears to be a standard student-level IoT assignment using a microcontroller and ThingSpeak, rather than a commercial product. The submission claims to use enterprise technologies (Bright Data, Neo4j, Storyblok) and reach 5,000 monthly users, but the only evidence provided is a raw data channel link with no frontend, suggesting these claims are inaccurate. The solution functions as a basic data logger but lacks the traction, innovation, or scale to score higher.

Description
Design and implementation of enclosed field-deployment sensor node that senses temperature and light intensity and sends it to open server thing speak through wifi and it helps like when we have previous data so we can predict future based on previous it must have anamolies
Audience Reach
My project is real-time data collection of temperature and light intensity. It reaches approximately 5,000 users per month, including students and researchers. The data is accessed via a web dashboard like thing speak
