The greatest learning phase for me in regards to this prototype was learning how to use IFTTT with Particle to schedule schedule time based events and also to set up email commands to the Photon. Utilizing the Particle functions through IFTTT was worlds easier than using a special API or anything and getting used to that workflow was fun. Additionally I wrote my own functions to set up the different alert patterns for my LED, which helped me get more familiar with Particle code.
