Questions…….
Good evening everyone,
My name is Rachel, as Steven pointed out yesterday, I’m filling in for him until his return tomorrow or Thursday. He asked me, while I briefly spoke with him on the phone this morning, to post an update.
This update has to do with our name.
This morning, we decided on the name we’ll use as we move forward.
We’ve selected HomeSync Technologies Systems. Our website, when it goes live, will be www.homesynctech.com. Right now, there’s only a place holder there, until we’ve finished the website.
Here are two whois lookups:
http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=homesynctech.com&prog_id=GoDaddy
http://whois.domaintools.com/homesynctech.com
While we’re getting other info together for you to review, Steven has informed us that he would like to do a conference call with some of our supporters on Thursday afternoon. This will allow you to ask direct questions that pertain to this project. This call will be open to a few supporters of our project, because we’re wanting to show you, our commitment to the project, and to you, our supporters.
He’s doing this during a difficult time in his personal life, because he intends to see this through to completion. An update will be posted tomorrow with details concerning the call, and how to take part in it.
We all thank you for your continued support,
Rachel

Conceptually, there was nothing impossible or impractical about this project. An MSP430 sells for $4 (retail!), although not the one with Zigbee or 802.11. A 120V solid state relay isn't that expensive. The BOM for such a device *could* be less than $20 in qty. The complexity that I see is finding someone that manufactures UL/CSA approved 120V outlets, that can be persuaded to build some custom units with space for the electronics.

Mark, read the comments. This is a scam that almost got us all.
Creator Daron on August 17, 2011
I agree, not cool
Creator marc buccheri on August 17, 2011
Ah, come on Steven do not leave us in the cold like that. I really want to try your products. Let finish the KS project...!
Thanks
Marc

i agree with Stephen P, especially after reading the messages in the comments section relating to where kick starter stand on backing pledger's and legality of commitment regarding kick starter for illegitimate projects. so buyer be wary.
Creator Stephen Popiel on August 17, 2011
Wow, this has made me seriously consider using Kickstarter again. Granted, I'm sure that there are plenty of high quality, real projects on this website, however this does not set a good example for me as being one of my first backings on Kickstarter.
Creator Kris on August 17, 2011
wow, looks like all of the previous comments regarding the projects authenticity turned out to be true. pretty shady to pull the plug this late, but at least people didn't lose their money first.
Creator zenocon on August 17, 2011
project was a scam, folks. there's a lot of info to back this up in the comments section. people started doing their homework, and he got freaked when the questions started flying, cancelled the project, and then deleted his kickstarter account. rachel doesn't exist.
Creator Chris McClure on August 17, 2011
I agree, cancellation is disappointing.
Creator Monty Tan on August 17, 2011
What happened? Looks like Steven bailed on the project ???? Or was the idea sold to a higher bidder?
Creator Bert JW Regeer on August 16, 2011
I'm sad to see this project canceled ... what happened?
Creator William Nordmann on August 16, 2011
Why the cancellation? I was getting excited Home Sync Tech. Any response would be great.
Creator mitpatterson on August 16, 2011
so... rachel... care to fill in on the cancelling?
