Looks great! I don't really suffer from the possibility of people snooping whilst I'm away, but it'd be a great convenience device.

I'm an iOS developer as well, but I haven't delved into OS X development. What makes the device compatible with newer MBP's but not older ones (i.e. my 2009 model)?

I would imagine it's not compatible because of Bluetooth 4. I had a similar issue with my MacBook vs iMac using that Authy two-factor authentication app that was talked about a couple of months ago.

Its the Bluetooth Low Energy chipset (part of bluetooth 4.0) in the modern macs that lets it talk to Sesame.

Thanks for the support!
