If any of the creators are reading this, is there any chance you're going to be making this in a hacker-friendly way? I've been contemplating making something sorta like this myself (although much less ambitious) and I'd really like to be able to integrate it into other smart things that I have going in my house. Also, just out of curiosity, what are you using for the WiFi connectivity? I've been playing with a bunch or the new embedded stuff and like to know what people are actually using. EDIT: Also, cool, I was the one to push it over 100K: "You raised the campaign total to: $100,008!" I feel special.

You are special! Also, if you poke around their website, they sell an SDK. An expensive, limited edition SDK, but still.

  That perk means a really early access to the API and the opportunity to contribute to the design (we should probably explain it better).

Yes, I'm the CTO of the company. The product will have an open (and well documented) REST API from the day we ship. Our app and website will use the same exact API that 3rd party developers will use. Apps will have to levels of data access permission: sleep patterns only and raw data (they will have to ask access to the user). We are taking a lot from OSS and we want to give back and contribute to the community, we will start soon opensourcing part of our stack. As far as the hardware goes, we are doing our best to make it a pleasure to hack, it's in our interest:)

  Any plans to make a none wifi version (or a way to turn that off and connect via RJ45)? Where is the wifi antenna in relation to the head? I try to avoid sleeping to close to my phone as well as other wifi/bluetooth enabled devices as it does appear to have an affect on my sleep quality.

    No plans to make it non wi-fi. The antenna is inside the main enclosure, together with ambient sensors and power supply, outside of the bed.
