I wanted to get into the smart home/IoT space since i believe it not only helps people achieve efficiency in the day to day, but also helps me grow as an engineer since there are so many steps involved that it is a great challenge.

I personally found the programming quite difficult, since i was only getting into Bluetooth Control at a basic level, but now i have more confidence in making wireless devices.

I would maybe have added a battery to the thing to make it portable and not tethered, but other than that i think the app could be a bit more comprehensive.
