Thanks Matthew. It's nice to see that some serious vendors actually do things mostly right.

  No kidding. Just seeing what goes by on https://twitter.com/internetofshit https://twitter.com/internetofshit makes my head spin. It is a shame that the firmware updates go over http, but that's about the only obvious flaw with their implementation.

  It's like... first vendor I've heard of doing this right? And it turns out to be IKEA, of all the companies.

    Not very surprising to me. IKEA is always very thoughtful and clever in their design of even the most mundane things. I've never seen them botch anything ever.

      They do regularly recall toys that were found to be dangerous.

      Also, IIRC, they were a very early Linux adopter, I think in the '90s one of the largest users. It seems that Ikea has some smart techs on board and that - here comes the actual surprise - they listen to them.

      The designs of their physical products are generally good, granted, it's the implementation that is lacking, often severely.
