Question

Hello Everyone.
I have what I consider a pretty typical setup. A nest and FIbaro lights and smokes. Pretty basic 10 circuits, nothing special happening here.
While I think the Fibaro app is pretty decent, I wanted something I little more focused and polished for me.
So, I have built a Android and IOS app which is modelled on the look and feel of the Savant app:

The app is fully working, just need a visual improvement - but it looks decent already. Its a side project - so dev will happen when i have time.
I never planned on realising this in the wild, but a few people who have seen it love it - so thinking about submitting to relevant stores.
Its boring features are:
- Picks up weather and such like
- Pick up NEST information (via Fibaro home centre or home centre lite)
- Get all relevant devices from the system
- Allows you to input your IP / user / pass (and saves) to allow connectivity to the home centre / lite (can use dyndns for those not on static IPs at home)
- Runs via HTTP - so will work inside and outside the home. (use local IP on the internal only devices)
The more interesting features are:
- Allows you to (So much easier than Fibaro) create scenes on the app - in a lovely interface.
- Will sync all settings of the scenes with either the Fibaro box, or Dropbox (or similar)
- Might make it control the Nest also and other device types which fit within the focus of the app & alerts
- Keeps the device alive if desired (prevent screen off)
What im looking to do:
- Get some flush wall mounts of ipad Minis / Andriod tabs made up (using 3D printers to keep costs low)
- Have these as wall mounted control centres
- keep the cost very low.
- Allow people to re-use these old devices - rather than capture dust in a draw.
Is there much appetite for such stuff in this community? If so ill look to finish it up and develop. Ill probably put it up as a paid app, mainly to cover costs and support / continious development.
I will stress this is not a replacement for the Fibaro app - its just more focused and beautiful.
