This is really cool! But, I think the clock needs to be bigger and brighter, and maybe graphical. Or be a VFD -- OR -- what would be really cool, is combine it with a pico projector, and shine the clock/UI onto a wall. Good luck!

You’re right and we are looking for alternatives already but need to launch Kickstarter first because cash is run out!

Actually, I just had another idea. It may be just me, but I already have an Alexa echo, and Smart Home controlled lights and fan in the bathroom. All you really need is an WIFI-enabled motion sensor - and then, an easy way for it to start playing music on my alexa - bonus if it would automatically turn on the lights and fan when I enter, and turn fan of 15 minutes after I leave. Maybe even just an integration with IFTTT or Home Assistant.
