Great KICKSTARTER WiFi add-on for iRobot Roomba

There’s this new WiFi add-on for iRobot Roomba, nicely embedded and protected by a replacement faceplate, that enables you to control it wherever you are through an iPhone (or Android) app or web-app. It also makes use of geofencing technology, so it will start cleaning when you leave the house. I saw it on Kickstarter, it might be something for you, if you want to integrate your Roomba with WiFi,.. did anyone see this?? Looks really nice and i think i could make a plugin for it...

Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/th ... -irobot-ro

The Thinking Cleaner WiFi module:

• Adds WiFi to your Roomba for ultimate Roomba control.
• Comes in a sturdy replacement faceplate with all electronics embedded.
• iPhone®, Android® and web based apps available. 
• Has much more advanced remote control possibilities than the standard IR remote.
• Easy schedule setup from anywhere in the world, even on Roomba's sold without the schedule option. Up to 4 schedules per day per Roomba! 
• Get notifications from your Roomba World wide access through our ThinkingSync servers.  
• Max clean function (for large rooms). 
• Multiple Thinking Cleaners are supported by the iPhone and Android app's. 
• Adds accessibility features to Roomba for people with disabilities or people that need care by making full use of the Voiceover capabilities.
• Runs autonomously on its own CPU to enable full Roomba independent operation. 
• Easy to link to home automation systems (API with documentation available for JSON or XML, expect some home-automation plugins developed later). INDIGO !!
• Over the air firmware updates. Ready for future enhancements and features. 
• Works without router or modem reconfiguration or port forwarding.
