Wovyn?

[GadgetBoy]

Anyone learn about this product? I found them on Kickstart - they are looking to do a round of financing.

Looks interesting - I would want to see them able to interface with Homeseer, but some of the folks here might want to look to work it into your project.

Twine seems much the same and they're just a month away from shipping.

I see Wovyn has several advantages over Twine.

Smaller (1" square; 1/4 size of Twine)
Broader range of fully wireless sensors (Twine has two internal plus several wired external sensors)
900 Mhz wireless (excellent range)
Two kinds of gateways: USB works with PC, Wi-Fi is standalone
Communicates with Wovyn's cloud (Loom) and several 3rd-party services/protocols, plus has an Event-based API and REST.

From a bang-for-your-buck standpoint, Twine, on Kickstatrter, was cheaper. For $165 you received one Twine plus three additional wired sensors (five sensors in total). For $159, you get two Wovyn sensors plus the USB gateway. Of course, you can place Wovyn sensors wherever you want because each sensor is independent and wireless.
