Until we see some enforced security standards, I have no interest in "smart cars", "smart TVs" or "smart homes". When I look at those products I just see one big botnet.
Ditto. But I do want a smart home and I've had one for years. We still use the older X10/Insteon protocol, which I suspect is more convenient than a smartphone because I don't have to speak commands or find my phone to launch an app. Sensors and timers manage everything, there's no network connection at all, and I hardly ever need to flip a light switch.
Not to mention, I don't want my refrigerator to know what I'm eating and I have zero interest in turning on my crockpot remotely. They're *supposed* to cook all day.
