Reflection

• It was a nice experience to develop the ambient product through hands-on exploration. 
• Learned about implementing IFTTT and particle cloud functionality apart from Neopixel programming and libraries.
• I had faced quite a few challenges while developing this project which made me learn a lot. IFTTT implementation, 'Particle.function argument reading to name a few. 
• Another important implementation that took time was the millis(). Since it returns the time from the start of the program, I had to call it in the particle cloud function. This made it possible to run this implementation with every trigger event from IFTTT. Earlier it was working only for the first time. 
• One thing which is a little weird till now is that there is a delay between the google calendar and the IFTTT application. The applet runs either 1-2 minutes earlier or later than the actual calendar alert. I am not sure if the issue is with my internet connection or the IFTTT app, I am still monitoring it to confirm.
