Very nice project.

One thing that it seems to miss (that all microwaves that I know miss) and that would probably be very easy to implement is a mute button for late night snacks.

Along with that a way to shut the door quietly. Maybe newer ones are better but all the microwaves I've used sound like they are being slammed no matter how you shut the door.

Great idea! It seems they should close more like a fridge or oven, instead of a car door.

Like those fancy kitchen drawers that you can't slam. They slow down to a satisfying glide at the end.

Automatically mute between certain hours.
