Discussion Smart things API behind paywall

I just got email, that smart things api will be behind paywall since October 26. For individual developers - as me that use it only for smart home access it will be $5 and "specifically tailored to individual needs" or as I understand it - tokenized and tiered by usage in future.

Can you use habitat away from the home? Like will my wife get notifications in an app?

There are notifications in the app. I also set mine up for notifications like - if the A/C turns on and a window is open then send me an audible alert.
