My main phone is an iPhone but of course Notifon is compatible with Android and Windows Phone. For now PushingBox require a Google account, I plan to do a lot of development to make PushingBox even better. So don't worry, you can be a customer ;)

Of course the Node can trigger two states. So you know when it's open or closed. You can set a different message for each state.

You can't build a mesh network with sensors on idle mode.

The key is to get notifications when you're away. BLE don't have a good range (about 10 meters). ZigBee is more like Wifi (about 50/100 meters).

That's the point, I think I launched the campaign too soon. I didn't had a good press coverage on the launch day. One week later, I got answers from Mashable and Techcrunch reporters, they seemed very interested by Notifon, until I sent them the campaign link (with only 3% of the financial goal reached).

Thanks for the reply. This kind of price can be reach using Bluetooth Low Energy. Those chips are really cheap but as you might know, the range is too low.

Exactly, for Notifon the transmit time is 40ms. That's why it can run on a small and sexy coin battery (CR2032).

Thanks for those good recommendations, I think you're so right with the "notifying object" words! I think the Indiegogo page is better, I'll merge it with the main website.
