I don't think they believed or prototypes worked as advertised but I can't be entirely sure...

Thanks for the support man. I think there's going to be a big shift towards this model since popular crowdfunding sites are shying away from hardware and never really fit with software. Lockitron and app.net have definitely paved the way but we're excited to be at the forefront. It will be interesting to see how the JOBS act fits in to all of this too...

Thanks! I'm assuming you're talking about the home automation piece. We've integrated with SmartThings and Belkin's WeMo. Once you've drifted to sleep it can everything turn off and will remain off. It can also turn things back on based on your wake event which occurs during your preset "wake window". It's all fully customizable through Lumawake's free app.

Hardware and Product Design account for just 4.2% of KS projects and 21% revenue. With 75% not hitting projected ship dates it's easy to see they applied the 80/20 rule and cracked down. KS simply wasn't made for pre-orders and they don't have a system in place to track projects after funding / enforce refunds. It's just not the business they want to be in. We can understand that. We just wish they would have handled this differently but, at this point, it's water under the bridge. We believe in our product and are up for the challenge!
