Writing an embedded C program using ESP-IDF that polls a Bosch BME688 sensor, feeds it Bosch BSEC library (compiled for ESP32, of course) and then pushes the response to an AWS mqtt queue.

Why, in all that, would you use an AWS mqtt queue?

In case you have multiple sensors and your organisation is already on AWS?

Also, in this particular case, it adds complexity to task (https on embedded, for example, it's not as straight forward as on a normal server, for example)

good luck with that, ESP-IDF + BSEC is one of my go to tests for evaluating LLMs; it's such a niche topic, and complex too, that there is (probably) no training data covering it and all LLMs hallucinate when asked for a solution.
