  Iota Labs is proud to announce our developer beta program! In the coming week, many of you will be invited to join our ranks as a part of the first wave to contribute to Dot’s application platform.

  Anybody on board of the developer beta program? Would be nice to have integration with Homey right form the start of official launch of the Dot.

  Kundal is a forum-member here (but you know that)
  also:

  So if we let them know we're waiting it will speed up integration!

  Yeah, I know all this and I'm sure it's somewhere on the roadmap of Dot but I have more faith in the community for making it happen in a short time frame. I'm sure Dot has a lot to deal with right now (you know how it went with Athom).
  
  If there would be a Homey owner in the Dot beta program with the with skills an app could be created and be available on kickstarter launch.

  I like  the dot but i wonder does anybody know if you can set the range when the dot spots your phone?
  or is it a fixed range or something?
  Could't find any info on their kickstarter.

  There's custom ranging:

  Dot just announced support for Android is delayed at least until mid-summer 2017. They will be focusing on the iOS app. Makes the dots pretty useless for me and I'm considering cancelling my Kickstarter pre-order. The only way I would be able to use Dot is if there is integration with Homey from initial launch. In this case I could borrow someone's Apple device to do initial setup of the devices and then create integration with Homey. Is someone perhaps part of the beta program and knows something about integration of Dot with other domotica systems?
  
  Or perhaps @Kunal_Dot could comment on this.
  
  [EDIT]
  Of course you could use IFTTT to tie them together but IFTTT is not know for it's reliablity so I'm not sure if that the way I want to go.

  If you have Android, I know a good alternative: NFC tags. <span></span>  Even cheaper than the Dot!

  There is a huge difference between Bluetooth beacons and NFC tags. 
  NFC Tags work nearby (cm's ) vs Bluetooth beacons work on meters....

  Right now we have Homey integration through IFTTT.

  And another problem I have with these kind of devices is that it expects that I have a phone glued to my body. I (and especially my girlfriend) tend to forget it sometimes, lose it through the house or have an empty battery.

  and here is the result:
  
  
  
  
  and they asked last year which color i would like to have and i took a black one. so i think this is the new black?
