Reflection

The main thing I learned from making this project is that sometimes not all the features that I initially wanted can be implemented by the deadline. Perhaps next time, I can come up with different sets of goals for the project. That way, I at least have a basic version, and if I have time, I can add more “intermediate” and “advanced” features to the prototype. 

Also, I thought that my problem statement could be easily solved. However, there are some non-trivial things that I would need to figure out. For example, how would I know (without this switch) that someone has left the room or left the house? How would I be able to differentiate between natural light and light bulb light? Where would the optimal place for each sensor be and what kind of casing would it need to have to be useful? These are good things to consider when expanding this project.
