This is interesting to me because Apple pushes the security so hard for connected devices. My understanding of the early HomeKit tech was that it was in fact prohibitively secure, and most low end manufacturers were unable to meet the security bar at the price they were targeting.
This could be a bad indication about Apple, but I think I'd end up interpreting this as a bad indication about ioXt. Big consortiums like this often end up creating a lowest common denominator, and Apple are known for not bowing to pressure to engage with things like this where they believe they can do better.
- er4hn 6y agoI think that is the parents point...
- danpalmer 6y agoYeah I wasn't sure which way it was leaning so thought I'd add some more details to the discussion.

- reaperducer 6y agoIt's more like Apple loves to push their own standard on products People said the same thing about Apple and USB. iPod and FireWire. MacBooks and Bluetooth. Apple not supporting HD-DVD. Apple not adding Blu-Ray to SuperDrive. Apple and DisplayPort. Apple when it released its first Airport. It didnt matter that other companies were also using the same standards and methods. People are hypersensitive to what Apple both does and does not do.
