I was about to buy one of these until I saw it relies on a backend service that you provide.

Any thoughts/plans on allowing a customer to self-host the backend? Or would you publish specs so someone could build their own?

I love the idea of this, and we would love to have one of these in our house, I've just been burned too many times with fully functional physical products bricking because the company behind it goes away.

I know you say you plan to support it for a long time, but everyone says that. :-(
