The Story of the Internet of Things: WebVisions Barcelona, a talk by Sce Pike of Citizen, Inc

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term that some have heard of, and few can pinpoint, but a vast majority of the world still isn’t aware of how this growing industry will soon effect their lives. The current strategy of makers in this field capitalizes on the availability of new technologies to solve for problems that don’t exist. This approach doesn’t look at the true needs of users. Our lives are composed of patterns that make up stories. What patterns will we uncover with the advancements in IoT? What stories will we be able to tell about ourselves using these new technologies? The Story of the Internet of Things is also the story of us. What can the Internet of Things become when a platform is established that allows for a true ecosystem of compatible devices? Sce Pike, Chief Experience Officer of Citizen, Inc. looks at strategies, objectives, and values to consider in the creation of IoT products and services, to drive the industry towards mass adoption and truly needed problem solving. A talk by Scé Pike, Chief Experience Officer of Citizen, Inc., presented at WebVisions Barcelona June 20th, 2014. http://pluscitizen.com

The future is bright…

2017 Revenue Forecast US $72 Billion for Smart Homes

There will be 9 billion IoT devices by 2018 roughly equal to the number of smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, wearable computers, and PCs combined.

What if our homes were intelligent

And find ways to make them better by

offloading the mundane details, so that

we can focus on the things that matter.

Current IoT Landscape

SCE PIKE 2014 CONFIDENTIAL. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. ©

Insteon

53

K E Y TA K E AWAY

Insteon is one of the largest hardware players on the market, but seems to lack much “smart” insights from the software, which feels tacked on. The dual-band communication is interesting, but is difficult to justify for the trade-offs (closed system, no apparent API/SDK).

PROS

• Largest marketplace of hardware, accessories and components among current competitors

• Proprietary dual-band communication for devices use powerlines and RF technology to optimize consistent communication

• Starter kits available for common use cases narrow things down for the beginner

CONS

• Clunky control experience on mobile devices feels rudimentary and not thought out

• Insteon platform doesn’t support third-party products like philips hue, nest, etc. (although the inverse is possible)

• Feature set seems to stop at simple automation (not really smart) and also isn’t open to development (API/SDK)

SCE PIKE 2014 CONFIDENTIAL. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. ©

Revolv

54

K E Y TA K E AWAY

Revolv takes a really interesting approach to home automation by patching together the big names that are getting all the attention, but ultimately is still one that seems like only a bridge until the market evolves further.

PROS

• Minimal setup with multiple radio signals actually replaces almost all hubs from other proprietary setups, reducing footprint and wires

• Support for almost all “best-in-class” IoT products, reducing app fatigue

CONS

• Essentially a way to patch together several products, but doesn’t gain any intrinsic value from all devices working together –they don’t “talk”, they just allow you to control from one place.

• Expensive to setup, and puts all onus on the end-user for research, purchase, setup and maintenance

• Reasonable, but not stellar mobile experience

SCE PIKE 2014 CONFIDENTIAL. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. ©

SmartThings

55

K E Y TA K E AWAY

SmartThings seems like one of the strongest players currently in the DIY market, but still is firmly in the “home automation”, and not “smart home” arena. Definitely the one to watch as the buzz wears off and the developer community matures.

PROS

• The most polished end-to-end experience in the DIY home automation market available

• Multiple RF signals supported to enable third-party hardware

• Well-thought out hardware covers many common use cases

• Polished app experience feels fairly solid • Strong, open developer community helps keep

the platform sustainable into the future

CONS

• Still depends on the end-user to setup and maintain

• Expensive hardware will balloon setup costs • Not currently a really “smart” software solution,

but could gain some aspects from unique use cases in the developer community
