Why Amazon’s Echo Show makes me feel lonely

This week on the Internet of Things Podcast…

After a week with the Amazon Echo Show I realize that I have no friends–on that device at least. In addition to my review of the Show, Kevin shares a review of the GoControl Z-wave sensor pack he purchased to go with the Wink, and I talk about the Leviton Decora light switch in depth. Reviews aside, we also chat (and sing!) about low power wide area networksIngenu’s departing CEO and the closure of the company behind a $500 backup camera.

My guest interview this week is with Fahri Diner, the CEO of Plume. We discuss where Wi-Fi is heading. He’s one of those that convinced me that Wi-Fi will end up in more devices, and he talks about how his deals with Comcast and Samsung will make that possible. We also discuss why you’re going to pay your ISP for Wi-Fi and where the retail model will struggle.
