Yup. We did get a lot of that with our meeting room solution. We'll be expanding the feature set over the near future, to entice home users to go for something like this even with a price tag of 250.

I can't even imagine what you'd add to make it useful for 250 dollars. Like, look.. If I don't want to be disturbed, I close my door. If I am OK with being disturbed, it is open. That's not going to cost me 250 bucks. If the product were in the 100 bucks range, maybe I'd bite, but it is far from that. This is trying to be pitched to me as a home solution, but with the price tag of what I'd consider for a company instead.
I don’t see what your problem is with the device - it’s an e ink calendar for 250 euros thats cordless, I like it. Even tho it is expensive for me.
“ Comments on the Joan Home are welcome - as we're actively thinking of developing this into a more feature rich product in next two months.”

Just giving my feedback. Like I originally said, it’s a cool product, but it’s got a price tag that makes it not a “Home” product like you just said.
