<article> <section class="page"> <p> My home is dumb.</p><p> Part of the reason is that I don’t have a house—I have an apartment, which I rent. That limits the investment I can make into smart home technology: No rewiring thermostats or installing smoke detectors for me.</p><p> But the other part of it is that right now, the smart home industry is disjointed, fragmented. There are a ton of disparate gadgets and more competing and wackily-named protocols than I can shake a (smart) stick at. </p><p> Someone needs to bring order to this chaos.

And this is exactly the area where Apple could really succeed, assuming of course that it wanted to.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3032230/home-tech/the-smart-home-isnt-yet-where-apples-heart-is.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: The smart home isn't yet where Apple's heart is (http://www.macworld.com/article/3032230/home-tech/the-smart-home-isnt-yet-where-apples-heart-is.html#tk.rss_all) |
