+# LifeLine-ICT IoT Firmware (ESP32)
+
+## Overview
+This firmware powers the **LifeLine ICT IoT system**.  
+It collects rainfall and water-level data from field sensors, simulates readings for testing,  
+and transmits structured payloads over MQTT or HTTP to a backend API.
+
+## Features
+- ✅ ESP32-based firmware using PlatformIO
+- ��️ Rainfall and water-level sensor simulation
+- ��� Hybrid connectivity (Wi-Fi, MQTT-ready)
+- ��� Lightweight JSON payloads
+- ��� Offline simulation supported (no board required)
