Great idea. I am considering buying one for my refrigerator and furnace.

Are you planning to charge a monthly fee? I’d be open to that, but it would be nice to not pay for more than the hardware. I.e. build the operating costs into the cost of the initial purchase

No monthly fees -- You buy it, you own it.

Every software-based appliance built in the last decade starts out with this promise but then inevitably rug-pulls with mandatory updates that introduce subscriptions, degraded functionality, etc.

This thing is way too "nice" and polished for its relatively low price tag, meaning it's likely being significantly subsidized by investors, who will eventually want a return on their investment and all these promises will go out the window.
