Its ridiculous how many companies are keeping the human in the feedback loop of the internet of things. Sending notifications to a phone is not automation. Just imagine if your traction control system only alerted you to your loss of traction, or if your hvac system just told you it was too warm, instead of those systems acting autonomously to rectify their conditions. The killer apps of the internet of things will not notify humans of changes in stimuli, but will take corrective actions taken in response to those stimuli. But, its no surprise. Because, when the only tool you have is an iPhone, everything looks like a push notification.
