This says it integrates with smart home stuff from the given companies, but how does it actually do that? What sort of features are actually available?
Also, the partner logos should really be links. I have no idea what Beep or Emberlight even are.

- some products will be integrated directly to enable a very specific user experience (in particular thermostats and smart locks for now)
- for other products we are integrated with IFTTT so that a user can customize even the most complicated scenario (we are also looking at other integration platforms, ideas are welcome)
Aaand... ticket created for the links, by tonight those logos are going to be links. In the meanwhile:
- http://www.emberlight.co/ - turn any light into a smart light
- https://www.thisisbeep.com/ - bringing music to every room of your home
EDIT: fixed formatting of lists
But what will they actually do? What are the use cases that you're looking at?
- lower the house temp when everyone is in bed (save energy + better sleep environment)
- detect whether you are likely to come home tonight or not to avoid warming up your bed if you are traveling
- letting the thermostat know what's the temp/humidity in your bedroom when you are in bed
Smart locks: you get in bed and, if you left the door unlocked, you get a push notification that says: "Your door is unlocked, do you want to lock it?"
These are core use cases now, we will definitely expand the list, there are a lot of things that need to happen in a smart home when you get in bed or fall asleep or when you wake up.
