Thanks for your feedback and questions!
1) Nope, no monthly fee.
2) We don't support this today. We think most of the value actually occurs in the cloud. Having said that all our APIs, hardware and code are open source, if you want to implement this you can.
3) The question of protocols (433Mhz or otherwise seems to miss the point of Ninja Blocks (& the Ninja Platform). We want to integrate with ALL connected hardware. We've been working on adding other protocols like ZigBee, Z-Wave, Insteon but they're not ready yet. I personally believe the future is IP.
We've included 433Mhz because it gets people started very cheaply!
