Then why would they be connected to the internet?
Are you imagining people will set up DynDNS and port forwarding through their wireless routers to connect to their smart devices directly, or what?
- enraged_camel 10y ago>>Then why would they be connected to the internet? I like the idea of being able to remote control them. For example, it would be cool if I could securely tell my coffee machine to start making coffee when I leave work at 3pm on Friday so that it's ready by the time I get home.
- superuser2 10y agoHow would you remote control it without going through someone else's server? I understand that an HN reader could set up DynDNS, a DHCP reservation, and port forwarding (so you could connect directly to your home from the internet), but that would not seem to make for a viable consumer product.
