Here's my litmus test for taking an IoT thing seriously: If nowhere in the entire ecosystem of that thing does anyone try to replace light switches with taking out my phone and fiddling with an app, I'll at least listen. It demonstrates to me how fundamentally unserious the IoT is that people keep coming back to trying to replace a light switch. Light switches are really good, guys. They're fast, everyone understands them, and they're reliable. Don't get me wrong, anything can be improved, but: 1. Every IoT lightbulb thing I've ever seen has been strictly inferior to the light switch. 2. Even if you did manage to actually improve it, how much are you improving it, at what cost? I'm not going to pay $100 to make it very very slightly more convenient to turn on my lights.
