It's a clever idea, but without a 1:1 connection between an object and a network, it seems too dumb to be useful. How is my WiFi network supposed to know that

It's a clever idea, but without a 1:1 connection between an object and a network, it seems too dumb to be useful.
How is my WiFi network supposed to know that the interference in the signal came from my detergent bottle - not my neighbor's, and not from some other random object passing by? Do I have to do some sort of pairing every time I buy a new detergent brand to teach my network about it?
- jrowley 9y agoIf pairing became an issue, amazon could associate a new bottle with your account before they ship it to you, and automagically register the device with your router. As an added bonus you could get a real confirmation that the box arrived when it is delivered. This is a really interesting idea for IOT. I'm really excited by the possibilities it could open up.
