I agree that setup for WiFi IoT products is a total pain. The simplest method I've seen is what WeMo uses...out of the box device is an Access Point, you connect, then enter your own network credentials...still takes a few minutes, but beats requiring another hub.
- CamperBob2 11y agoThis could be so much easier if Microsoft hadn't f---ed up their Bluetooth Low Energy implementation in Windows. BLE is a much better fit for a lot of these applications than WiFi, but by forcing users to deal with pairing, Microsoft has completely blown off its biggest advantage. Very frustrating from a device maker's point of view, and consumers literally don't know what they're missing.
