Google cloud is down so people can't turn on their AC or get open their "smart" locks to let people into the house etc. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20077971 …https://twitter.com/jDantastic/status/1135282856085852160 …

Some things, yes. But people leave pets behind, counting on remote adjustment , etc. Counting on remote is one kind of risk; so much being Google/AWs is another kind of risk, and having too many "smart" apps is another kind. Coupling/concentrating risks.https://twitter.com/SureReality/status/1135313502166573056 …

Actually, this is on point. Being networked brings advantages AND risks. Plus things are very concentrated right now, which couples risks. What are our redundancies/alternatives and isolating mechanisms? Way past time for this conversation.https://twitter.com/neoengel/status/1135312253996208129 …

By the way, when I go into a house with a Google Home device, I'm cool. I just yell at it about the Youtube recommendation algorithm and how lousy the help pages are for 2FA security keys for Gmail. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I understand that. See full thread for the point about how we are coupling risks. People should look up “Seven World Trade Center is a poor choice for the site of a crucial command center for the top leadership of the City of New York.”https://twitter.com/vaishnavi/status/1135338700093530113 …

Yeah precisely why investing in zwave with real switches and/or a ‘on premises’ controller is the only option that makes long term sense.

Greetings from Cable companies circa 2010. There is no good reason you can’t talk to the Nest locally. The only one I’ve been given is that the thermostat might get overloaded with local requests.pic.twitter.com/dzam6uwgRn
