I love how the <a href="https://istockonline.com/ac-1000w-dimmer-control-impact-d1000-110v-120v.html" rel="nofollow">Video Lighting Kits</a> portray the design and space in a much larger appearance. ^_^</p>

If you guys need any help of advice let me know I used to design high end automation for homes, hotels, and commercial buildings. i.e.: custom lighting control (ac/dc, leading/trailing edge) multiroom audio, HVAC control and many others =) All fun stuff. Can't wait to see your "apartment" evolve.</p>

Watering, fertilization, pest monitoring/control, lighting? There is an interesting <a href="http://publiclab.org/wiki/multispectral-analysis-for-determining-plant-health" rel="nofollow">Public Lab project</a> that might be useful.</p>

Understand that it doesn't actually look outside ... But adjustable to allow the "sun" in during the day, close at night.</p>

PID controls for the Stove/Oven. RFID tags for items in the fridge so that before an item expires you get a notification that contains recipes suggestion that would use that item. Flours jars that could dispense a chosen quantity of an item.</p>

Is it something you plan on integrating with everything else?<p>Personally I'm looking into things like zoning and air recycling within the home, but that might be a bit more than most folks are gunning for.</p></p>

I have 2 ideas for you. First, Some small Wifi device inside either a light switch or an electrical socket that you can remotely turn on and off the power. Wifi enables people to not have to run new cabling to their existing wall boxes. Second idea is an electrical panel, like the type you find in basements with the house's circuit breakers. Could you setup some type of amp reading off each leg? Also you could have an on/off control for each leg if you wanted to shut off lights or other appliances.</p>

With RFID toothbrush activation. Have you ever tried to brush your teeth with a touch-free faucet? It's an exercise in futility.<p>Could there be an IoT potty-training device? Or a project to train people to shower in less time? Or a project to train people to wash their hands correctly?</p><p>Or a medicine cabinet which prevents children from poisoning themselves and/or helps people remember their medication and/or keeps track of when stuff expires. Creative displays involving the mirror itself would be a plus...</p></p>

I actually do have plans to add a bathroom sink and mirror so that we can incorporate some of those projects, so I'm glad you brought it up :) It probably won't be plumbed, but it will at least be a nice placeholder for bathroom-related IoT stuff.<p>Hahaha, yeah, Nuts and Volts is definitely there. I think I've got some "Wired" sitting out as well. All kind of fits the theme i'd say.</p></p>

Ceiling and other fans that circulate and even the temperature or reduce need for heat or cooling.</p>

Warm light in the morning, cool in the evening, dimmer when the room is empty, brighter when there are a few folks in there. Reduce to low-level accent lighting only when the TV is on.<p>If you really want to show off, you could have the RGB accent lighting take on the dominant color of whatever is on TV, minute by minute.</p></p>
