This is pretty neat! Is the intent to serve small consumers (e.g. people who want to incorporate IoT devices into a smart home), or larger companies (e.g. the IoT manufacturers themselves)?
Would love to get to a place where I could "terraform apply" my IoT devices configuration. Any plans to build this? It's only a small jump from a well-documented API in an OpenAPI spec to a terraform provider.
Most of our customers today are startups and a handful of large enterprise customers. Generally they're trying to connect and control their app users' devices. A common use case is smartlock & thermostat control for Airbnb reservation software. But some of the customers are actually controlling their own devices. This is usually the case for the large ones. Think real-estate group spanning multiple states with hundreds of buildings. They have fragmented fleets of devices and can't integrate them all.
Ultimately you can definitely use Seam as a hobbyist. A few people do. I have it running in my house alongside Home Assistant. But we're not ever planning on monetizing that segment.
The terraform is pretty interesting. If you could drop me a note sy@seam.co with an example configuration, I'd like to discuss it internally.
