There's some really useful stuff going on there - nice write-up.
Anyone getting into this field should take a look at Peter Scargill's Tech Blog - he has published details and code for a home control system centered around a Pi using MQTT with a range of modules (mostly ESP8266). The most interesting recent stuff is on control, monitoring and dashboard design for phone and Web apps - his work on the dials and gauges is very good.
Pete also takes a regular look at other non-Pi platforms from an IoT control perspective.
