I think this is the beginning of the real iot revolution. previous iot solutions were either too expensive for what they did(I hate to invoke the name, but juicero is quite a potent example) or too complicated(also juicero)
- dougmwne 6y agoFunny. The other day I was wondering what ever happened to iot and all the hype. Then I realized that it is here and so ubiquitous that I stopped thinking about iot at all. Been in a Best Buy lately? Looked at Amazon's product line recently? There is WiFi and Bluetooth in almost everything now. And lots of people have dozens of devices in their homes from doorbells, scales, blood pressure monitors, speakers, coffee machines, door sensors, flood and freeze sensors and oh so many cameras. People love this stuff and it's not going away any time soon. If it was cheap enough, they'd put a screen on every last can of coke and show you personalized ads.

- avs733 6y agototally agree, I think 'IOT' had become somethign like 'blockchain' where it was used to describe many things because it was hip. As an analogy, this idea starts to look like the growth of internet retail post pets.com -> the nonsense is stripped away and the core idea becomes the revolution through simplification
- WorldPeas 6y agoan interesting take, I think you're onto something
