Cool project! Maybe iterate it to use LEDs instead of incandescents. For hardware hacking- you have 3 types of hardware that can make life easy- but there are tradeoffs: 1) Arduino 2) Raspberry PI 3) Beaglebone Arduino is great when you want low power, but it isn't an awesome internet platform. Raspberry Pi is great when you're going to leverage a full blown PC Monitor, but using it for hardware hacking requires a bit of elbow grease The Beaglebone is great for when you are doing something internety & hardware hacky, but without a full blown pc monitor. I would have done your project with a beaglebone, fwiw. I'd also have used LEDs instead of incandescents. But this is a great project! Nice work!
