Will it ninja-proof my home? Because we have a real ninja problem in my neighbourhood. Anything that can keep them under control gets my vote. (Sorry. I'm just sick of this ninja-meme. I'm sure it's a wonderful product, and all that, but using ninjas to sell home-automation??)

Mandatory cloud connectivity is detrimental to the usability and security of an automation system. I, for one, will never add non-optional cloud features to my own automation products. Some day I want to see more systems with a decentralized architecture, where cloud servers, if used at all, only help facilitate a secure VPN connection between the user's device (e.g. a phone) and the user's home network.
I'm working with others on a FOSS toolstack that makes it easier to build decentralised systems. Take a look and let me know what you think. http://nymote.org/
Just look at it.
The fuck is wrong with a goddamn timeline?
Aside from that the device looks pretty cool, although it's only really useful if you buy a whole bunch of other smart devices.
Hoo boy. This displays some of the worst excesses of infographic tyranny. Just look at https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/001/309/747/c057b01519ab... . Just look at it.

Similarly, are there any inexpensive but decent smart plug sockets available? (I should note that I'm in the UK, but I'm sure other readers would welcome US-specific solutions.)
And, same question for BLE tags - below ~£10 a tag would be awesome.
I'm digging all the new home automation stuff that's been coming out the past few years. I've slowly been starting my own collection of networked sensors and controls, reverse engineering the various protocols, and adding them to a custom dashboard. It's voice controlled (Chrome has a speech input JS API built-in now that makes building that easy), and responds to voice commands with dialogue from Star Trek LCARS res…

You actually did a pretty good job with the copy right below the video, "Next generation control of your [home or office] with accurate in-home location data and a gesture control interface.". You should have focused on what it can do now and the vision of what it could become and then spent the second half on the open source aspects of it. You could have also added a steady cam scene following someone around their h…
Yay, home automation in prolog. Answers each and every request with "No.". Can't wait ;)

If they really wanted to use a circle, why not a curved timeline? I've actually always visualized the calendar year as an oval. It would be so much clearer if the months were points on a circle.

All I get is a spinning blue dot. Your site is unfriendly to people who take their security seriously. That's not a good sign.
