Stay away - not even close to being ready.
Like other Withings products, they released this far too soon.
The Camera:
It's not very good. There is significant chromatic aberration around the left side of any image my camera takes.
They advertise this as being able to Pan, Tilt, and Zoom. It can do none of these. Support said that since you can scroll across the image on your phone, that is panning and tilting. Zooming equates to the same way that Photoshop zooms. it makes pixels bigger.
The Air Quality Sensor:
I have no idea what it measures, or how they define quality, but I have several other air quality measurement tools (specifically for CO2, CO, and VOC) and these all show the room as being "fresh", while my Home shows it being Bad. Then, an hour later, it goes back down to ~400, then BOOM back up to 2000+.
The Mic:
I can't run the app while my Home is on the same floor, without muting and covering the mic. It creates a nasty audio feedback loop that will wake the dead.
Bottom line:
I got a significant discount when purchasing mine (sub $100 price), and I still feel that I didn't get my money's worth. At $199, I'd run, RUN away.
Oh, and you're also stuck using an iOS app - you can't even use a browser.
