nice idea but lost me at $1000.
How can this cost 1000$? It’s a cheap board with dot matrix display and fake wood on top. They are really pushing the startup cost with this one
Imma figure out how to make this
The pricing is insanity. Wouldn't buy it even if I had an extra grand laying around. Thats just wild for what it does
Lost me at the price. I wouldn't pay more than $400 for it. It's nice to have but not at that price
1000 dollar remote control
Is it the same thing that was on Kickstarter with estimated delivery date of December 2024?
Couldn't think of a less ergonomic place to have it installed than directly behind me when sitting on the couch
Amazing idea can be implemented into many furniture item's. But for the price I'll stick to a smart home hub.
1000? Uhm bye😂
I love this!
Omg so whimsical
Without Home Assistant support its a pass
if i had kids one day, ill let them scratch and sketch all of the house with markers pencils etc and they never gonna touch unnecessary tech until certain age and one of the unnecessary tech is that board. Blah.
What texh is sthis even?
