I haven't said anything about this publically, and it's still something I'm just mulling over, not an actual plan, but...
I've been thinking about trying to put together a #crowdfunding campaign to buy parts for building a big batch of #HestiaPi thermostats.
The thing is, I'd need a lot of money to order parts in bulk so I can keep the costs reasonable per unit. Like probably at least $4000 USD to build 30 units.
I just don't know if there's enough interest in open source #hardware to make it a reality. And even if there is, I don't know that I can get the word out to them.
What do you all think?
Interesting enough to spend ~0.0036 BTC for an #openSource, wifi accessible, touchscreen #thermostat. It's similar to a #Google #nest except that it doesn't snitch on you!
