Competition judges don't believe that a Google Assistant based system running on a Raspberry with recipes, ingredients, YouTube and Spotify streaming, Kodi streaming, lights control and other stuff, qualifies as an IoT project.
For them, it just equates to the number of sensors and ugly wires sticking out a Raspberry, with some 1-file Python program.

Thoughts on this?

    Sounds like they don't know what IoT means.

    Are they looking for a phillips hue lightbulb or something? A "smart lock"? Or something fancy like a voice-controlled swiss army knife running on super cheap hardware? Derp.

    @Root the first prize went to a biker's glove fitted with an ultrasonic sensor, touted as "Smart Glove for the blind".
