Coding to link the IR distance sensor with the DF mini player, speaker and the NeoPixel was very challenging. It was a steep learning curve, but we managed to sync all the sensors and other parts of our final circuit and have them work together as intended. We adjusted the code to reduce the actual time the light would take to transition from green to red in order to make testing easier. 

In an ideal scenario we want IFTTT to send notifications instantly but as of now it takes anywhere from 1 minute to sometimes even 15 minutes. In future iterations we would like to ad a network of lights which can be placed in different parts of the house and ad additional features like bathroom occupancy detection.
