The app connects to the unit via wi-fi when you are home, which means you can control the product even if the internet (or our service) is down.
Opensourcing a lot of our stack is part of the plan, we take a lot from OSS and we want to give back. As far as the hardware, we'll make sure it's a pleasure to hack on, remember that we have to do it every day :)
- 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 yeah, kick the dogs off :)
We have an experimental feature that consists in gradually increasing the volume of the alarm sound till we notice you are waking up: the goal is to keep it just loud enough to wake you up but not your partner. This is obviously assuming your phone sits on a nightstand on your side of the bed.
Help us find more like you! :)
The cloud service relays commands to the cover when your phone is not connected to your wifi too (you can warm up your bed while ubering back home on a cold night).
