Of course the people without the technical skills, but also everybody who counts their time in terms of money. I used to reason like you when I was a student and had seemingly unlimited time on my hands. But now I'm a consultant who bills by the hour which makes me somehow always translate time into money. If I bill $100/hour and the raspberry PI solution would take me a day to set up and working, then buying the sense is $500 cheaper.

Sense looks really attractive to me, except the part where they get all the data. If they had a self hosted solution that I could run on a Raspberry Pi or even a “real”computer to do the data collection and processing, I’d be in.
