StormMate Development Roadmap

Phase 1: Foundational Development (Software-Only)

1. Repository Setup (Drowser2430 on GitHub)

  • Confirm your main branch is clean and ready.

2. Define MVP & Architecture

  • Identify essential software-only functions (e.g., detect outage, Alexa asks, lights turn on).
  • Plan a Modular Architecture and Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) to enable future hardware swaps.

3. Environment Setup (Local - VS Code)

  • Install Python, VS Code, and Python extension.
  • Clone repo: git clone https://github.com/Drowser2430/YOUR-REPO-NAME.git
  • Create a virtual environment: python -m venv .venv and activate it.
  • Set .venv as Python interpreter in VS Code.

4. Code the Core Simulation

  • Branch off: git checkout -b feature/simulation-v1
  • Develop Simulated HAL components:
    • SimulatedUPS.get_status(), get_battery_level()
    • SimulatedSmartPlug
    • SimulatedLight.turn_on(), etc.
  • Power Outage Detection Logic
  • Alexa Interaction Simulation (text or GUI)
  • Automation Flow Logic for light behavior and SMS triggers (simulated)

5. Build AI Models (Simple MVPs)

  • User Preference Learning: if outage time = evening, activate key zones
  • Anomaly Detection: unusual UPS/light usage
  • Use synthetic data for training/testing

6. Refine & Test

  • Add unit tests and simulate outage scenarios for robustness.

7. Commit & Push

  • Commit and push to your simulation branch: git push origin feature/simulation-v1

8. Merge (Optional)

  • If stable, merge into main and delete branch.

Phase 2: Showcasing & Future Planning (Still Software-Focused)

1. Create Demo Assets

  • Screen recordings of simulation
  • Voice demos of Alexa prompts
  • Simple animated diagrams (Canva/Blender)
  • Documentation for simulation and roadmap

2. Promote Software POC

  • Leverage TikTok + GitHub ReadMe
  • Emphasize automation, intelligence, problem-solving

3. Plan for Hardware Acquisition

  • Research: smart plugs, UPS w/ data, Alexa integrations, Raspberry Pi
  • Funding: grants, pitch contests, crowdfunding
  • Focus: prioritize minimal viable hardware for end-to-end proof (e.g., 1 light, 1 smart plug, 1 Raspberry Pi)

This file outlines how to go from idea → prototype → visibility for StormMate.
