Without updates or ability to download after August, app will become useless.

Just because the internet of things was two hype cycles ago doesn't mean we can't still dunk on it.

    I've got a couple bluetooth plugs around my house that were given to me. I plug my lamps into them, so I can crawl into bed to read and then turn off the lights without getting up. One of the only cool things IoT has given us, I think.

      Yeah, during the winter when I don't need the swamp cooler, that plug goes on my bedroom lamp. I can sort of wrap my head around why people with a large house would want all lights and shit app-controllable, but that's really as far as it goes. No, I do not want my refrigerator to have WiFi and a fucking app.
