I am so proud to be finally able to share the project we were working on for the last six months. Developed by two fanatics for efficient electronics and high performance software, Exahome is the first intelligent home automation system that improves your comfort while saving energy and resources. It is designed as an open ecosystem allowing everybody to extend it and build modules or extend the software via APIs. We would love to read your feedback.

Is there anything you can actually show? It's pretty pictures and nice promises in the text, but not many useful concrete details anywhere? Or did I miss something?

A lot of your description could be (probably misleading) marketing material for already existing solutions.

I totally see your point and you are right, we were just so excited that I posted too early.

We already started writing a page with technical details. We have a prototype that is running for months, and we are making a video to demonstrate the hardware and the app.

Where is the code? Are you guys on github? Posting on HN with 0 technical details isn't the best idea.

We have no code to show yet because the main focus of our product is on the hardware. It only makes sense to make code public as soon as people can play with the hardware.

I am sorry, now I know I posted too early.

Please do post when you have more to show, as a fellow smarthome hacker (pretty big insteon install in my house with an ISY and a lot of Python code to glue it together), I'm all for more open alternatives.
