@ajcarpy2005 what pieces of hardware do U think are missing?
- ajcarpy2005 13y agoA hub for the IOT. Many companies in this space have their own base stations and the wireless router also acts as a 'hub' for many devices in this space. (Cloud printers, Nest thermostat, etc) A device with more computing capability could evolve into a sort of specialized home server for handling home automation. If you are having guests over, this hub could schedule your Roomba vacuum to clean the floors before company arrives and not interrupt. It almost seems like we will need an operating system for handling the complexity of all the 'peripherals,' interactions, and applications in the era of home automation. Even though web connectivity is very popular, it may be best to have a layer of software that is a little more stable that can mediate all the applications that run on it.
