I'm big fan of technology - it's my job, my house has installed EiB/KNX equipment. However I'm not convinced at all about IoT.
1. IoT forgetting one principal part - real world interaction
2. Do we really want that whoever will know what we really do all the time?
ad 1) Real sensors are difficult to wire, to power up, to maintain. Real actions takes again wiring and power. To switch on pump, socket, light always require to bring energy and some switches.
ad 2) On simple example such as sewage water pump I will demonstrate how much information can be extracted about our house, our family, our habits.
Don't take wrong I'm not against IoT, however (1) I want to point out how it's affecting our privacy (2) I want to show that real equipment require knowledge, skills and standards to be followed.
