EMBER

EMBER is an agentic sensor mesh for wildfire early warning. Existing wildfire networks detect fires when a sensor crosses the threshold and sends an alert. EMBER investigates. Cheap XIAO ESP32-S3 Sense nodes (camera + mic) detect flame, smoke, crackle and motion on-device and send ~30 byte packets over a multi-hop, Meshtastic mesh. At the command center, Muse Glimmer runs a closed loop through the radio. It questions nodes, treats LoRa airtime as a budget so it only asks questions worth their cost, decides ALERT / WATCH / DISMISS, and re-programs the nodes' on-device detectors to stop false alarms at the source. It then writes a situation report.
