# [December 7-9, 2025: VineyardElf launch](https://help.vineyardelf.com/december-7-9-2025-vineyardelf-launch.md)

## First VineyardElf deployment

We launched the first version of VineyardElf - an intelligent assistant for vineyard management.

### Battle-tested system!

The frost protection system was tested in spring 2025 and **successfully protected the vineyard** against spring frosts. Automatic sprinkler activation kicked in exactly when it was needed.

### Main launch features

- **Dark mode** - automatic color scheme adjustment to system preferences via CSS variables
- **Sidebar navigation** - clear side navigation with dark mode support
- **Subscriptions and email templates** - a notification system for users
- **Calendar with iCal import** - import events from external calendars
- **Roboflow integration** - first tests of leaf photo analysis

### IoT integration

- **Shelly IoT** - winery device monitoring on the dashboard
- **Chart.js charts** - weather station data visualization

This was the first public version of the app, laying the foundation for further development.
