I am using Python (for the first time) and my Python skills are next to nothing. Mostly I am just copying and pasting other peoples ideas.

Have you considered adding speaker independent, voice recognition, control?
In 1991 I assisted the owner of the 110 foot "boat" (anything over 100 feet is actually called a "ship") Alpha Centauri with such a system.
Twenty years ago it required specialized computer equipment, provided by Voice Control Systems of Dallas, Texas.
Today, it can be done with a Kindle touch.
