You’re talking about an average consumer that can’t remember their WiFi password or simply pair devices with it. Of course the future is in devices shipping their own internet, and everyone who works in that space would tell you - whether by their professional experience or through user surveys - that WiFi / local internet is the biggest obstacle.
- raxxorrax 6y agoThat is not universally true. There are also plans to use completely different radio stacks and offer localized control. The amount of people that do not want any cloud controlled devices is quite significant. It is also a huge waste of energy to have my device contact Amazon to set a value. Voice interfaces can be nice, but only very few customers seem to be interested. It also adds costs for customer support and you need maintenance on apps and services. I work in that space, although it is true that IoT is not central to the products, so I don't know about the latest trends. Luckily it is just a feature we like to show of on expositions. For me a line is crossed if people add security cameras directly connected to vendor networks. If that is allowed I should also be able to install my laser with 100w optical output power and face detection. I have a right to security after all.
