Expanding a little more on my #5 point: The secret sauce here is not an API, or a cloud-based service, or SMS messages or any of that. The secret sauce is the hardware that goes inside the safe. Contrary to popular belief, the primary reason to own a gun safe is for fire protection. Many of us have tens of thousands of dollars invested in our guns. Fire is the most probable undesired outcome and so a safe must protect against that. Your hardware device needs to be inside the safe so that it can be safe from tampering, but it /can't compromise the integrity of the fire protection/. Furthermore, it needs to be able to communicate to an outside station. This may be a problem if the device lives inside this big steel box. I hope that you guys don't try to re-invent the wheel. There are already a number of home metrics collectors similar to NinjaBlocks and I would much rather use a platform that I can also use to monitor things like fire detection, home security, electricity usage, environmental conditions, lighting, etc. Build us something that works with most quality safes and have it integrate into the existing systems. Sell us the hardware.
