I like the concept but the price is steep IMO. $90 for two actuators in the starter kit then $40 for each additional module.

I wonder if one could design a similar solution without requiring a bridge. Although of course given the power consumption adding WiFi on the actuators might not be a great idea.

The cost appears to be higher to cover the development/systems cost for the app?
That may be the case but it doesn't change the fact that I can't think of a use for these that is worth $40. I think the value these would add to my life would be worth closer to $5/each.

Now, if they existed for $5 each, I would be all over it and buy 10
