It's unfortunate, but I have no faith in crowd-funded hardware.
There's plenty of "according to" and "promises" in that article for me to want to take any claims with a very healthy pinch of salt.
Same here but I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on it. If it does succeed and ship, and looks like it's trustworthy I might seek one out. I'm currently using a Smartthings hub and while it's a lot better than the wink i had previously i'd love one that doesn't need the cloud to do so much.
