I think the twine is a neat first effort but they are missing the biggest part of their sales strategy, the Application side of their device. Sounds like a student project.

They have several sensors and those need to be explained as the average person who it seems to be geared too will not know how the sensors can be utilized.

Right now it detects wet, a vibration, magnetic latch.... only one of two options, yes or no.

The Arduino solution could measure the degree as some of those sensors have a scale of ranges.

Plus take it to the next step and DO something physical in response to the detection, like turn something on or off.

On the cost side you could have this thing produced for maybe $15 with all the sensors in China.

Now I'm starting to think of a competing product.

But, I digress.

My experience with Arduino's has been with flight stabilization control so far (Drones), and they perform amazingly well at that complex task.
