OP here. I'm helping out w/ a lot of the BLE and mobile architecture. I'd love to hear what sorts of things the HN crowd would like out of a home automation platform like this. For example, we're considering developer SDK's, RESTful API's and all that good jazz. We've event tossed around the idea of using these as iBeacons. Let me know what you think and some hacker use cases you'd like to build would be great as well.
