Most people can and do get along just fine without all the "fluff" we install for a living. :)
IoT is getting straight ridiculous IMHO. None of it is necessary of course. And most of it is pretty useless other than being something else to use up a bit more of your time in a day.
But when you buy fluff, you are going to need fluffers to keep that fluff as fluffy as fluffing possible.
And that, kids, is why Control4 bought Ihiji.
