My new apartment has a Nest so this is the first time I’m using my phone as a primary magic-wand type controller. Why has phone-as-magic-wand been a slow design pattern to catch on? Cost? Bad UX psychology? Bad design pattern for most applications? Engineering difficulty?

Nah, it’s real. Just early days yet. You are falling prey to the skills=vision fallacy. Learning how to work hands-on on a technology does not necessarily mean you’ll have the vision to see what it’s good for. Many good engineers fall into this trap and get blindsided later.

Nest is good, Alexa is good, smart TVs are good, dropcam could be good...on high end, Tesla cars are good Give it a decade. Lots of kinks being worked out. Already far superior to when I studied this stuff in the ops.
