Put a CO2 + temp/humidity sensor in there and it's a no-brainer. The sensors could be nice to hack on too.

- mxfh 2y agowith matter support that could just well integrate with the rest of home automation. There is a lack of devices with big nice dials for that. +1 CO2/PM2.5
- djbusby 2y agoMaybe aranet4 device as add-on? It does BTLE.
- wingworks 2y agoAlso add PM (Particulate Matter) and VOC.

- mightysashiman 2y agohell yes!
- dylan604 2y agoso now we're talking a $500 device? they're already asking ~$200 for a feature stop watch
- ssl-3 2y agoWhy stop at a $500 device? I think it should also have NVMe and SFF-8644 for external disk shelves. At least 6x 10GbE, with 4 on SFPs and 2 on copper. A GPU with excellent hardware transcoding, and slotted VRAM for that local LLM fun. Plus an 8k projector for movie nights at the office. And a pony; every single one of these fucking kitchen timers must also come with a pony.
- dylan604 2y agoI think you're missing the obvious play to subsidize the price by making that LLM enabled with a mic and then selling all of that training data. The price could then come down to $19.99.
- ssl-3 2y agoI forgot the phased 32-element microphone array! How silly of me. It will listen in all directions at once, 24/7/365, and send the recordings home to mother. If done right, that should keep the end-user price below $10.
- jll29 2y agoIt's a beautiful site and product. However, the original inventor of the Pomodoro technique explicitly advocates a "low tech" approach - a mechanical kitchen timer, because he argued that the tactile and auditory elements (i.e., the turning moves and ticking sounds) get associated with the elements of the techniques in the human brain. It would be interesting to evaluate both variants of the approach in a scientific experiment. https://www.amazon.com/-/en/38-1005/dp/B00335P518 https://www.amazon.com/-/en/38-1005/dp/B00335P518 - about €7 or $13, depending on your geography
- vineyardmike 2y agoThis product (1) is not just for Pomodoro and (2) has nice tactile hardware. I think hardware that can "passively" be more useful with sensors and similar are easy wins. No reason it has to disrupt a timer, it just hides sensors you'd want within a device that would already be sitting out in your home/office.

- wongarsu 2y agoAnd double the price? Temp/humidity is simple enough, but reasonably priced CO2 sensors with any accuracy are an issue
- eastbound 2y agoI’ve found a CO2 measure for 16€ at my supermarket. Of course I’ll never know whether it’s accurate ;)
- Aurornis 2y agoAhh, the inevitable slippery slope of feature requests. Making hardware for geeks is a tough business because they’ll always say they’d buy it if it had just one or two more features, but by the time you add all of the feature requests they complain that it’s too expensive.
- latexr 2y ago> but by the time you add all of the feature requests they complain that it’s too expensive. Or that it’s too complicated. Then another startup comes along to “simplify” the product and the cycle begins anew.
- zhovner 2y agoCO2 sensor is too expensive. No one will buy this device for $500
- Spivak 2y agoYou can get a good CO2 sensor for less than $50 [1]. For large-batch orders the whole device can be less than $50 [2]. Where are you getting an almost $300 addition to the base price?
