   The most significant learning from this project was with regard to the usefulness of using stand-in parts, and testing code on circuits proven to be working properly. By using a push switch to simulate the floor mat detection apparatus, I was able to get started before the part arrived, and focus on producing working code before troubleshooting issues of physicality. Furthermore, by initially hooking up IFTT to the system status/LED switch, the process of learning the IFTT platform, however simple, was uninterrupted by questions of whether the my second circuit has been properly configured. However, had I followed through on the approach
