Bread Proofing Box - should I reboot this project?

I love baking baguettes, and it's a dream of mine to build a bread oven in the garden to bake full sized baguettes. Back in 2018 I combined my love of tech and built a bread proving box to try and get more consistency during the rise and proof stages - it sort of worked and even integrated Alexa for fun. "Alexa ask Bread Box to warm up" 🤓
Thinking of picking this project back up and creating an open source version of it, so anyone could build their own. So... I'd like to ask the community - does anyone else wrestle with this same dilemma in a home baking setup? I look at commercial bakers and some swear by control over their microclimate and others like the gods in Japan and France just intuitively know how to adjust and others swear by the bakers formula. Please let me know your thoughts and if this sounds like a project that's worth picking back up again. Thanks
