Do you know if anyone at Aura has actual intrusion system experience? This seems like it would be utterly useless for basic detecting intrusion features like when someone is home....("ARMED-STAY"). If I go downstairs late at night to address a cheese craving 🧀, that is indistinguishable from someone breaking in.
My prediction: Once they run out of their Series A money, they will be sold off to DMP or Bosch, who will use the sensor tech as part of a full-featured intrusion system.
[UPDATE] Aura has now announced support for multiple sensors / 'beacons'. (See this announcement)
This potentially changes a fundamental weakness of the initial system, as now non-football shaped areas (ie: full housing floors) can be monitored.
