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.
