I have chosen to do this project as it can be very impactful on the society with its unique features. It is not just an appliance controller, its purpose is to make your home smarter with better ease-of-access, more security and most importantly saving your time and money.

The challenge faced by me during the making of this project was to add functionality, as it was a complex project to do as there were no references and I had to refer to the limited documentation from the platforms. But the challenge was overcome with some research, debugging and some patience.

Yes, I would have added more built-in features like thermostats, fire alarms, burglar alarms, CCTV Camera integrations, all controlled wirelessly. I would have also liked to scale the project and make it a product if I had proper tools, equipment, guidance and funding.
