Why do they need a kickstarter? They have the money for an entire team and are hiring more.

#13I'd like to see either an add-on which is a lamp bright enough to gradually wake you up with blue light, or for it to be able to work with things like LIFX or Phillips Hue to do the same.

#14Looks very similar to http://www.withings.com/us/withings-aura.html I really want one of these (in general).
Yeah I don't think I would shell out for a Kickstarter that may never ship when there is a pretty comparable product already on the market.
Well the withings one isn't actually out yet, and it doesn't say how much it is.

#16What affects my sleep isn't me setting my alarm for the wrong time, it's my 13 week old baby. I'm sure I've seen a few things like this in the past. I wonder if they could adopt it for use as a baby monitor? We do currently have a sleep monitor but that just sets off an alarm if she hasn't moved in 20 seconds (or I pick her up and forget to turn the damn thing off, grrrr). I could see this being a really useful baby…
Haha, 3 weeks here! I feel your pain. Work output on complex abstract thinking tasks has descended to terrible. It's not just the sleep, either. It's constant interruption when you do get going...

You don't have to wear a chest strap on your forehead.

I'm confused about your alarm. Why does it go off when your baby has stopped moving(=asleep)? Is that a sign of something bad happening?

#19So, a WiFi-attached device sitting in my bedroom with a high-sensitivity microphone, a proximity detector, and unknown software? I think I'll pass, even though the product seems cool and useful otherwise. Sure, I've got my cellphone in my bedroom at night and it's got the mic, network connection, and unknown software. But I figure there's a much better chance of someone discovering that Google or Sprint has installed…
They offer an API. It states so in their kickstarter campaign. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hello/sense-know-more-s...
That's very different than being able to examine the source code and the data to see where everything is going. Also, though I'm not a rabid proponent of FOSS software, in this case, I would prefer to have many eyes on this code, since the authors are unknown (to me) and the data is sensitive.

#20I wonder how applicable these kinds of devices are to babies. Are baby monitors already capable of similar types of sleep tracking?
We have the Withings baby monitor with noise and movement tracking.
