  • Why Is My Smart Home So Fucking Dumb? (gizmodo.com)
    It amazing how much you miss a simple old light switch when you have to pull out your phone, fumble through a poorly designed app, and then wait half a second for the light to turn on.

    @tweethue I keep seeing references to being able to connect motion sensors or other ZigBee devices to the hub. Is that supported right now?

    Apple is clearly up to more than they revealed with HomeKit in iOS 8 today. An iPhone can't control your home lights if you're away from home without some sort of connection.

    If Apple adds HomeKit support to iCloud, then your phone would have a backend to talk to.

    The next step would be getting some device to sit in your house to send the raw messages to all the devices. Maybe this will be built into the next Airports, or could be launched as a separate device. This device would be able to use the iCloud connection.

    When you're away from home you could tell your phone to turn off the lights, it would send a message via iCloud which would be picked up by the base station at home.

    There is a spider making a web in front of the security camera, setting off the motion sensor all night. #homeautomation #edgecases

    @peatbakke I do this at home by scanning the DHCP leases on my home router in real time. I get alerted within seconds of a friend approaching the house as their phone tries to hop on to my wifi!
