Besides running on battery and ecosystem woes, why this over a apple homepod which is cheaper and has better engineering and sound?

initially i was thinking this was some groundbreaking technology that would somehow help with privacy via fancy audio engineering - but alas it seems like just a portable speaker with a cute design.

anyway, congrats on the launch of V2 - it's valid if it's a passion project and you had fun building it in any case, just curious about why anybody would choose this over the plethora of other portable speakers

is the killer feature here motion detection ? because that seems like it can also be accomplished via a third party motion sensor + Apple Home integration

Exactly. I used HomePods to solve this problem. Hey Siri, play my x playlist. Hey siri, stop.

Right. The problem is that you are announcing you’re about to do something embarrassing. Loodio always plays no matter intention and is easily paused with one button click.

this again can be done w/ a cheap sensor that integrates with apple home integration and still come under cost of this product - likely with both superior sensor and speakers
