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.

This was an excellent video. This series is the type of content I really wanted L1 to become (along with the news and Hardware reviews of course) I loved it! One thing I'd really like to see potentially is Home Assistant (or an opinion of it) in his architecture. It seems like a really great local Smart Home orchestration engine that is great for the home server without the need for the cloud. Also for standards, CHIP (Connected Home over IP) is the emerging standard across the IoT industry that might be something interesting to research.

Always brings a smile to my face to see nests crap being called out for what it is. It took YEARS just for them to get filter reminders working on my thermostat. Pathetic
