Why the hell would I want my door bell be controlled via MQTT on AWS?

Probably to make use of their whole IoT platform, such as https://aws.amazon.com/greengrass/. I still wouldn't use it over a properly architected local solution (being a software architect with focus on security), but if you _really_ don't want to write the non-feature-specific code then I suppose their stuff isn't that bad.

To know when someone ring your doorbell but you are not in home so that you can connect through voip to speakerphone near doorbell and speak with someone who stands before your door.
It's probably one of first examples, like "Hello World!". Who in their right mind would write hello world, they are written for all languages already.

#5Bit of a confusing name, when there is already an extremely popular mongodb node.js framework called Mongoose

#6You had me until the "Pricing" section.
The Old Way - Varies, depends on many factors. Requires ongoing investments, hiring developers or integrators
The New Way - GPLv2 license: FREE FOR NON-COMMERCIAL USE / Commercial License: CONTACT US
So with Mongoose OS, you don't have to invest, or hire developers? Am I being unfair by thinking that, while the other points make life easier, this is scraping the barrel a bit?
Why not just say "and the price which gets you all of these advantages is.." ?

#7> GPLv2 license: FREE FOR NON-COMMERCIAL USE
This confuses me, the GPLv2 doesn't say anything about commercial use, it merely says that you need to redistribute the source code to anyone that you distribute your software to.
Have they placed additional restrictions on the GPL (which I believe you are prohibited from doing)? or are they just trying to highlight that they are dual-licensing it under a license that isn't copyleft if you pay them (since lots of companies have no-gpl policies)?

Also confusing as there is a small mammal that eats snakes called mongoose.

Also an embeddable http server.

#10Interesting, I'll have to look into it when I build some prototype (just a personal hobby-type of project) with my ESP8266.
