I am happy to announce today's Winners of the Connected Cloud Challenge with Cypress

After 20+ weeks of designing,Researching, Prototyping, Coding and Testing, 142 Blog Posts, 17 Videos, our Connected Cloud Challenge has come to a close.

Our challengers were tasked to use the PSoC 6 and Amazon AWS IoT Platform to connect their world!

The judges have rounded up their thoughts on the projects and selected their favorites.

Winners of the Connected Cloud Challenge with Cypress and AWS

Grand Prize

Super Smart Home by - balearicdynamics
Top Member, Enrico, won us over with his Super Smart Home Autimation project, using the PSoC6 as the main hub to his AWS IoT Smart home. Using cross platform MQTT and AWS for the main infrastructure, creating his own 3D printed cases and remote ESP8266 nodes as well as UI for the PSoC6. The large amount of cross platform inter connectivity helped the judeges select this project as the overall winner.

Intelligent Mailbox by -saicheong
Sai comes in second with their Smart Mailbox. This remote mailbox seems fairly simple on first glance but the complexity within really blew the mind of the judges.
Firstly the project would light up and inform you when a letter arrives, this passes the data over AWS to a telegram service, email or SMS, Fairly simple but well done.

We had a 2 week extension at the end of this challenge and some challengers who were finished and downed tools, Sai decided to use the remaining time at the end of the challenge to Train a Neural Network with sounds of dogs playing and barking. Training this mailbox to know if a dog is barking aggressively and then to warn the mail carriers of this.
