Comments on: The Smart Whatever in Internet of Things is Rather Dumb https://bloggeek.me/smart-iot-dumb/ The leading authority on WebRTC Sat, 28 Dec 2019 15:14:41 +0000 hourly 1 By: Philipp Hancke https://bloggeek.me/smart-iot-dumb/#comment-117841 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 01:18:45 +0000 https://bloggeek.me/?p=9301#comment-117841 You forgot the most important thing. The smart toilet. Makes me wonder if the “internet of toilets” talk from http://events.ccc.de/congress/2014/Fahrplan/events/6370.html was recorded.

I just hate the world federation 🙂

I think a lot of vendors today are aggregating multiple devices by supporting multiple standard and proprietary protocols. My guess is that we will end with 5-6 different protocols and 3-5 dominant aggregation platforms that devices will strive to connect to. Today, these platforms are probably Nest and SmartThings with a few more runners up.

All these smart things are so very dumb. They are just a new kind of island, without a means of being connected in a genuinely useful manner.

We have a Smart TVs, but we have it’s “smarts” defeated in favor of the Tivo Roamio to which it’s attached. Tivo has 15 years history of being the smarts for an otherwise dumb display device.

IoT as a category strikes me as the evolution of past home automation crossed with a new generation of IP connected mobile gadgets. It’s promise cannot be delivered without some central smarts, including federation of all the disparate devices & protocols.
