Comment on Parents outraged at Snoo after smart bassinet company charges fee to rock crib for crying babies

  Welp… Smart designer wouldn’t even have included a server. Bluetooth connection to the crib would have been enough. If it needs an app at all… Our motorized crib hat buttons you know. You are not gonna operate that thing remotely anyways.

        I could see it, depending on the pub.

  It really isn’t unless they changed since we used it 5 years ago. It just had a microphone and went through several levels of rocking based on how much sound mics picked up. It worked whether it was connected or not. Internet was just for notifications. Your baby screaming is usually a pretty clear notification.

  Doesn’t seem all that smart to me. Does the company offer an API to the device so consumers can write their own “server”? No, I’m sure they have it locked down behind some proprietary encryption scheme so that anyone who tries can be charged with violating the digital millennium copywrite act.

    I mean, if you’re dropping $1800 on a smart crib, you’re not very smart.
