The initial concept of InControl was not a smart home hub, but rather a smart plug, that could directly connect to the devices under its control using a cable. The "punishment" would involve the smart plug aggressively yanking the cable, like a cruel pet owner yanking the leash of a misbehaving puppy.
However, we soon ran into a technical issue: the motors we were using simply did not have the power to "yank" on something as heavy as an alarm clock or lamp. We then pivoted to another concept, utilizing an LED strip to simulate the shock travelling through the cable and into the peripheral device, causing a shock.
