@Amritendu : I think your post is extremely presumptuous. Pretty much all the kickstarter backers are aware of what they are getting into. So statements like "you invest in an idea and see it grow" are pretty condescending. Yes, we backed the idea, yes. the "potential" of the hardware is enormous.
But it is also a fact that you guys are moving extremely slow. In addition to that, you do not share a roadmap, nor do you share what your vision for the product is and what features are planned. So you have a HA rules platform that cannot handle a day change, for about 6 months now? You have disjointed UI which means that you have to create separate UIs for each of your devices, each of which has its own timeframe. The iOS app has not been updated in ages. Not only that you do not have a platform where we can contribute by adding our own devices. You choose to keep people who can help, out of this. (By you, I mean Securifi)
I had high hopes for Almond+. I still do, but I don't see you guys delivering on the promise. Even till a few weeks back, this forum was lively and there used to be good discussion. Now there are days without anybody posting. Yes, buying a router and a HA platform might be more expensive, but at least that would get the job done. Sadly, that is something you cannot say about Almond+.
