I didn't know - I really actually didn't realize that there were 111 people following this project. I would have been more active on Phone Home if I had realized that so many people showed interest in the project. Well, there's no time like the present to make up for it.

I'll begin with receipt of the Hackaday Prize funds, then when that happens I'll use this seed money to buy some parts and maybe even a little test equipment, build the Phone Home Hand again (the original seems to be lost) and also the Motion Detector prototype.

Ro Ortiz, and e-NABLE member with mad mad skills of web server wizardry can set up and probably improve the MQTT instance running on the e-NABLE cloud and at that point we can test the devices once again. This all begins within a few weeks. Followers, if you'd like to get involved I'm all ears.

Les out, praise the Lord!
