I kind of groan every time I hear about another company really yet another IoT device. We're pretty much moving too quickly already since we're not considering the security issues.

I think there's a point where replacing hardware with software for convenience becomes more of an inconvenience. Right now I can turn on my light with one switch. Yeah, it sounds nice to be able to turn on my lights with my phone, but I sigh when I think that someone spent time to create a dashboard that can mimic the one button switch for my light. Doesn't seem worth it to me.
