Would love some thoughts or suggestions.

Payment is through stripe and we'll email to get shipping etc.

Instructions are pretty simple - there's a contact switch that puts the os in setup mode and creates an ad hoc network for the app to configure the wifi with your network. It gets linked up with your account and then you wire it up to your garage door button wires (usually 2 thumb screws on the door unit). After that mount the magnetic sensor.

Thanks for the feedback! We're looking for a few people to purchase for $150 (to cover our costs) and help make sure the product features and fit are right!!

I've been pondering doing one of these as a startup weekend suggestion for next year. I like where you're headed so far!

Bottom line for me - this feature is on by default. This should be an option. Deleting the data from the device should be available and it's not. Regardless of if the data was encrypted or not it's existence creates the potential for privacy violations. It's not far fetched to assume that your insurance company will inevitably ask you to share this info before issuing a policy. Isn't this blatant lack of concern for privacy why we're all here? I'm scared about the lack of our concern.

On by default? I'm not cool with that - are you?

I should say this is an iPhone 5s - I doubt the iPhone 5 has the features required to track steps.
