The takeaways through these experiments are valuable to be utilized for future use cases:

• Interfacing with Neopixel is rather simple after uploading the library, and understanding how to turn on one LED at a time.
• Having an external output power is slightly more desired so that there's not much power dependency from the particle.
• IFTTT has a rather simple GUI, but would be challenging when the app is not integrated already.
• IFTTT isn't always reliable. You need to select the 'check' button to make sure it reads the input.

All in all, IFTTT is very handy in future use cases for IoT. It is the basis of connecting hardware devices to multiple cloud application connected to electronics (phone, laptop & etc.).
