Episode 437: Goodbye and good luck
This is the final episode of The Internet of Things Podcast, and to send us off after eight years, we don’t discuss the big news of the day such as Arm’s planned IPO, a new display option from Brilliant, or new gear from Leviton. Instead we share our reasons for stepping back from the show, and where we’re heading next. Also, because everyone wants some new podcasts or IoT news options, we share some of our favorite resources. On the podcast side, I sometimes listen to the Mr. Beacon Show or The IoT Podcast.

Episode 436: Can Alexa (and the smart home) stand on its own?
Amazon’s head of devices David Limp plans to retire, as part of a wave of executives leaving Amazon in the last year. Also, next year Alexa and the Amazon Echo will be ten years old, which prompted us to take a look at the role Alexa and the Amazon Echo has played in the smart home, along with what has and hasn’t changed. Our concerns about the state of the smart home are perfectly illustrated by this review of the Mill composting system founded by Nest co-founder Matt Rodgers, and the news that Masonite is now selling its...
