I have one of these, and love it. It's so much nicer than the plasticky remotes that come with anything else, and the system support out of the box is great. Sam is very responsive on the forums too.
I have written a raspberry pi server component[1] that can be extended to support any smart device (if you've got an API for it).
You can, if you wish, use the device completely without any supplied software, it operates via bluetooth only so does not phone home. If you want to class up your own hacked together/secure smart home setup, this is a great device.

- koichirose 9y agoI don't understand, does this replace the need for the iOS/Mac application?
- conesus 9y agoYep, the RaspPi client is instead of the iOS/Mac app. Basically the Turn Touch API and Bluetooth spec is open source (https://shop.turntouch.com/pages/open-source https://shop.turntouch.com/pages/open-source) so you can extend it in ways that I haven't built natively.
- antsar 9y agoThis is wonderful, thanks. I hope to leverage this into a Home Assistant[0] component (assuming someone else doesn't do it first). [0] https://www.home-assistant.io/ https://www.home-assistant.io/
- conesus 9y agoOh yeah, I would love that! And if you do, email me and I'll add it to the open source list, where you can also find the API and my email: https://turntouch.com/api https://turntouch.com/api
