This is very interesting and at the same time challenging design challenge. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to complete my design as per my plan.
My current design flow:
The sensors parts of my design are still in progress and I will continue trying to develop it even after this challenge ends. As per I checked, I do meet the minimum requirements for the challenge (using XMC4700 Relax Kit and 2 more other Kit + 10 blogs) so hopefully, I didn't lose my qualification.
Below is the video of the current stage Garbage Collector:

The Github repo is the DAVE project to be loaded in XMC4200 Platform2Go. There are also 2 .ino files, Pressure_sensor.ino and Controller.ino, which should be loaded in XMC4700 Relax Kit and NodeMCU respectively.
The lastest Smartphone application for the wireless controlling purpose is also available as GarbageCollector (3).apk inside the same Github repo.
Last but not least, a great thanks to Infineon and Element 14 for organizing such a meaningful challenge. I also would like to take this opportunity to thank the technical support from Infineon as they really taught me a lot and helped me very much throughout the challenge. I'm really looking forward to see challenges like this again in the future.
