I saw a short bit from I think it was CES, and it kinda of feels like a product looking for an issue to solve. The only thing from the quick rundown I thought was actually interesting and worthwhile was that they are opensourcing the faceplate thingy hardware and firmware. That’s good and neat, also a total cop out, they couldn’t think of real world applications, so they’re leaving it up to people to figure it out.
And that’s only half the cop out. It appears to be just the raspberry pi 40 pin gpio connector. Then again that’s kind of a plus due to pihat compatibility.
That is an actual plus. There’s a lot of neat hats out there. Just feel like it would be a much better project if it wasn’t trying to Jack all trades, and maybe honed in on one or two things in particular.
