I love this idea! I work in an open space with a bunch of developers in close quarters, and we're constantly interrupting each other. The collaboration is great, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to get some uninterrupted time to really get stuff done.

My only concern is that the sign always says "Wired in" even when you aren't wired in. I know I could teach my co-workers what each color means, but I would like it if it was a little more intuitive. What are your thoughts on how to get your co-workers on board with this idea?

I'd love to hear any ideas you guys have, or any thoughts on what we should talk about.

We're in prototype phase and we have done some overseas testing. We're also going through the process of building it for HomeKit.

I love this idea. I work remote, and am on calls all day, so this will be a great way to let the kids know when I really can't be bothered.

Sounds interesting. I would use it everyday at work.

Will there be an API?
