Which problems do you want to solve with these IoT devices? What should they do? In my opinion existing IoT devices generally replace simple, proven systems with complex and abstruse ones.
- FussyZeus 10y agoA good example would be the smart outlet ones, so I could for example setup one to automatically power cycle my cable modem and router, or even one that could handle the load of a space heater I keep in my office during the winter months and switch it on 15 minutes before I get home. I don't even need the ability to manage it over the WAN, I'd be fine with just something my linux boxes at home could handle with cron jobs.

- dreamcompiler 10y agoOr you could -- in theory -- just buy a router that doesn't leak memory. Finding one -- aye there's the rub.
- FussyZeus 10y agoHey if you've got suggestions. :) Previously I had an Airport Extreme that was fantastic but didn't have UPnP which is more or less required to make our two XBoxes work. Right now I have a DD-WRT Buffalo N300 in front, with the Airport running most of the network and the wifi behind it. So far that's been the best solution.
