HomeKit supports obstruction detection (think IR beam across the doorway to disable the close action) - add this feature to the software and hardware design.

On first start (i.e. after flashing), the ESP8266 should start up in WiFi Access Point mode.
There should be a simple UI available to adjust all configurable options, including setting up WiFi client credentials.
Config/credentials should be saved to storage and read/used on subsequent starts.
Option should be available in UI to reset (just wipe storage?).
Perhaps even allow for firmware upload

Consider implementation of a presence sensor for the vehicle - probably using ultrasonic distance module

Look into over-the-air firmware updates for the ESP8266 board.
http://esp8266.github.io/Arduino/versions/2.0.0/doc/ota_updates/ota_updates.html

These items (and probably more) need to be configurable:

On ESP8266:

• WiFi credentials
• API credentials (enabled/disabled and values)
• Whether to use one or two sensors, if only one, detect open or closed?
• HomeKit proxy refresh URL
• Whether to pingback to HK proxy at all
• Button hold time
• Door transition time

In proxy:

• API URL
• API credentials
• hc db file location
• HTTP server port
• Info struct values (name, serial, etc)
• HomeKit setup PIN
• API guard time

Initial API requires HTTP POST to activate the door - create a simple HTML UI to allow for direct control from the browser.

Need to add installation/deployment instructions and contribution guidelines.

Should be able to have the homekit implementation onboard instead of using the proxy daemon.
Need to investigate if this allows enough storage and memory for all other features as well.
