The full press release can be read by clicking here.
A big thank you to all who participated in the In the Air IoT Design Challenge, the partners, element14 and the wider public have been deeply impressed by the projects we've seen to help create a greener, cleaner world.
It was not an altogether straightforward matter to pick a winner: however, in the end, we've awarded the prizes to the following individuals and their projects.
The Grand Prize
The Grand Prize has gone to Christever del Rosario of New Zealand for his Carbon Footprint Monitoring System.  His project's final summary can be read by clicking here.

Christever will receive:
  1. 15 inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display
  2. U1273A OLED Multimeter from Keysight
  3. SimpleLinkTm Bluetooth SmartRegistered/Multi-Standard SensorTag (Manufacturer Number: CC2650STK)
Community Choice Winner
The Community Choice Winner by a clear plurality of votes was Inderpreet Singh of India for his Firecracker Aftermath Analyzer.  His project's final summary can be read by Clicking here.

Inderpreet will receive:
  1. 13 inch MacBook Air
  2. SimpleLinkTm Bluetooth SmartRegistered/Multi-Standard SensorTag (Manufacturer Number: CC2650STK)
Additionally, we felt that two other projects deserved recognition as Honourable Mentions; both engineers will receive a SimpleLinkTm Bluetooth SmartRegistered/Multi-Standard SensorTag as a prize.
Honourable Mention 1
Our first Honourable Mention goes to Ambrogio Galbusera of Italy for his AirMobile project. The project summary can be found by clicking here.
Honourable Mention 2
Our second Honourable Mention goes to Janis Alnis of Latvia for his Air Quality Monitoring In School Classes project.  The project summary can be found by clicking here.
Thank you once again to all the participants for their time, energy and effort: we look forward to more innovative and exciting design challenges in 2015 coming to life.

    On a technical level I thought Christever, Ambrogio and Janis did a fantastic job designing their solutions, as did Inderpreet, Dragan, Frederick and others and I hope they will continue to develop their…

    Thanks Dragan for you appreciation I hoped not to be misunderstood: Christever absolutely deserved his prize, but I am very disappointed to see that ipv1 won a Mac that worths a thousand euros with just…

    Just received the sensor tag. It seems it needs a phone with Bluetooth 4.0(which I do not have at the moment)

    I found an alternative which involves using a BLE dongle with a raspberry Pi. This gentleman (http://mike.saunby.net/2013/04/raspberry-pi-and-ti-cc2541-sensortag.html)

    has provided a solution to install a GATT application on the RPI and has a python script which allows us to extract that data. Will be getting one of these dongles via ebay in the coming weeks and will try and post something useful. image

    Hi Jan,

     

    I did a  quick run through the SensorTag app available for both Android and iOS.  What I observed is that on Android, the app seemed a bit laggy in connecting to the SensorTag and has a tendency to crash.  I will put more details in separate blog, possibly in the coming days.  Regardless, I'm liking this little sensor device, as it is packed with environmental sensors and will play with it a bit more.

     

    Regards,

    I have that Sensor Tag too. I'm still struggling to find a smatphone with the correct Android version to get the app running.

    I'd be interested to see how you develop with the tag.

    Received these two prizes today... again thanks to e14 and the sponsors of this design challenge.  The meter is awesome!  I will be playing with it and update the community in the near future.  Looking forward for the main prize and hopefully will not shoulder additional duties.
