    wink, another smarthome hub coming

      I'd like to know as well. They are in stock at my local store but I'm not sending anything to their cloud.

    bRight switch (touchscreen switch)

      This.   A sticky at the top telling people you are not promoting, advocating, or supporting the projects, just promoting discussion and ideas about them I think would suffice. I mean I think at this point most people know the risks of backing any of these projects but several of them do have...

    bRight switch (touchscreen switch)

    I mentioned these a couple months ago in this thread (which I still don't see a resolution for relating to Kickstarter or projects under development):   http://cocoontech.com/forums/topic/26413-another-android-touchscreen-for-your-switchbox-kickstarter/   As I mentioned in that thread, I'd be...

    Another android touchscreen for your switchbox (kickstarter)

      I think a lot of us were excited about the local cloud stuff (including myself, which is the primary reason I backed it). Unfortunately there doesn't look to be a public API to hook into it any time soon so if you want to integrate it into an existing simple there isn't going to be an easy...

    Another android touchscreen for your switchbox (kickstarter)

    Any word on the subforum? There is something else on there I think people might be interested in, but I don't want to keep mentioning them if people are going to get riled up.

    Smartbulb phenomenon

      I was watching this with my wife and said how comical it was going to be because the product already exists.  Phillips already has a product in the market and these guys said they filed for a patent.   Of course I was amazed when Cuban dropped some change to it. Of course the people on that...

    Another android touchscreen for your switchbox (kickstarter)

    I did finally hear back from Hio today, but they didn't really address anything in my questions particularly regarding price.  Really bummed. I've got Cat5e run all over the place with nothing to use it with. :(   I can't speak to the Ube but I did back the Almond+.  They kept running into...

    Another android touchscreen for your switchbox (kickstarter)

    I vote for a subforum. I think banning threads would do a disservice to people who are looking for interesting upcoming HA products and gives us a place to discuss them and vet them ourselves. I think it would be quite valuable.   In specific regards to this product, this is exactly something I...

    Moonshine LCD touch interactive wall switch 1-gang - back on the spotlight !

      It needs to be half as much and run on Android. For that price, I'd mount a 7" touchscreen on the wall instead.

    Moonshine LCD touch interactive wall switch 1-gang - back on the spotlight !

      Which is why I haven't yet preordered The Bright Switch and was asking the question. I really want a PoE version I can stick anywhere I have CAT5e so Moonshine has a chance to get out in front in regards to that area.

    Moonshine LCD touch interactive wall switch 1-gang - back on the spotlight !

    I second a lot of the questions from Work2Play. I noticed this on Kickstarter yesterday and looked back on the Homeseer forums to see how long it had been since there was discussion on it. I was interested in it back when you announced it, but you seemed to let it die.   How have you improved it...

    Soap - Multi-network Android-based router

      I'm trying to flush out how they are going to handle their API as well. They just posted some more information in the comments.  Personally, just like the Almond+, I could really care less about all the extra router functions people are talking about. When you start cramming in every possible...

    USB Charging Delemma

    It looks like this device has promise and I think would deliver what everyone wants in that it can deliver the amount needed for each device (if it works as described).  I'm not sure what the logic behind the form factor was because I don't think most people have that large of an area to put all...

    Integrating Google Glass with CQC

    Since the I/O Explorers are getting theirs first, I'm waiting to see the feedback from them and to find out exactly what is and isn't possible. It doesn't seem we are getting them soon so at this point, I'm just sitting tight and trying to read everything I can. I still want to know for sure...

    Integrating Google Glass with CQC

    Once I saw the Mirror API in more detail and see the limitations in regards to video (which is where my focus was going to be) I was a little disappointed. Same feelings with the apparent lack of the ability to create custom voice commands to trigger custom events (unless I'm mistaken).  It...
