I would say that a hell of a lot of that technology needs more than 5 minutes under that grill
5 days would be closer.. along with the system designers and the marketeers who insist we need the latest and shiniest.
Lets see... in these days of systems on a chip , is there any need for your phone app to talk to a central server, which then sends commands back to your lightbulbs to dim down 50%? hell no.
The phone app should be paired with the SOC running your lights... send a command to that and your lights dim... without the need for anything to leave your house and get filed away/sorted and sold to a 3rd company making curtains.
Or am I just old and grumpy?
