Now that it is official that WakeMate is dead, it would be great to see some kind of post mortem.

People keep iterating that hardware is not as easy as software, but WakeMate actually solved some of the biggest problems, including being allowed to sell the devices in the EU (for which you need to meet some requirements many small hardware companies do not want to deal with).

I would love to read about what actually went wrong. I guess there are some great lessons to be learned here.




David, planning on writing something up soon! Hopefully other people can learn from our many trials and tribulations.

Getting EU certification was actually pretty easy. I'll be sure to include information on that.


Hey Arun, just wanted to say that I was a (burned) WakeMate customer but once I got a hold of you I did get a refund. Sounds like you hit some rough times, but I appreciate how far you guys actually got. Good luck on whatever comes next.
