Open Questions and Next Steps

An immediate next step would be to figure out how to slow down the data transfer time. The code itself is running on a significant delay, which means that somewhere between Adafruit IO and IFTTT old data is being repeated over and over until new data arrives. This causes the bee to tweet or send too many emails at a time. 

Something else I'd like to explore is what other data inputs I can add for the bee to collect, such as temperature and light sensitivity. I think it would also be interesting to allow the bee to connect with outside data. For example, it could detect the inside temperature and check the outside temperature and make a tweet regarding if I have all the windows closed in the apartment, or even make a judgmental statement that I'm using air conditioning on such a pleasant day outside.

I think it would also be interesting to explore other ways to make the bee spooky, such as having it tweet mostly normal information with strange tweets occasionally mixed in.
