Hello everyone!
Today's video is the third installment of L1's Internet Of Things series. In this video Wendell talks about how ridiculous Google is and their jank thermostats, as well as it being a shame that there are no standards in place for these devices. He talks about what SHOULD be the standards and what useful smart-homes should be capable of- aka how to make smart-homes more helpful and less gimmicky. Things like programmable logic controllers and ladder logic have been a thing for quite awhile, but Google insists on recreating the wheel. Along with these things, he discusses how cheap it would be to DIY this. It is rather inexpensive with the most valuable ingredient being your time and upkeep.
