And that is a clear Mission Statement.
But, after a second cup of coffee, and for the sake of discussion, (and keeping in this thread so as to not have a headline topic)....
What if we were to say that there were, hummmm say.... 5 major functional areas that people looking for plug & play HA might want to address (OK, yeah...."plug & play" I choked on that line too). I won't list them, but I will suggest the list of core functionality probably isn't as long as the permutations creative people can think of.
Given the rich resource of knowledge & willing participation in this Community ....would it be a bad thing to take that input (and in many cases prototyping that they would willingly offer for adoption) and integrate it regularly so that at the end of the day...HE develops into a very rich "best in class" platform in those 5 functional areas.
It is becoming very rich for the "roll up the sleeves and build rules" buyer but I bet there are a lot of folk that are attracted to HE that don't intend to get that deep. The types that are excited if they can just get a device paired You can say it addresses all their needs now...but the Community Apps out there suggest otherwise.
By the way, I'm not suggesting a UL Certified Security System here.

I just read this, and better understand where the singularity of your Mission is coming from. Hats off on this initiative.
