Indigo Domotics is a business with full time employees - so, yeah, we want more users/revenue so we can continue to get paid. It's harder and harder to acquire them given the capabilities of the newer technologies (which basically have free "hubs"), the fact that we're tied to the Mac and require it to be running 24x7, etc.
Indigo still has advantages over the less costly alternatives: combining a variety of different technologies and platforms into a single, easily managed "smart home", the ability to do very complex automations. All with very responsive customer support primarily here on the forums.
Getting a younger audience would be great, particularly if some small percentage of those end up becoming power users who contribute to the ecosystem. That's been one of our biggest advantages for a while now and increasing interest and capability in that area is definitely a good thing for everyone.
