Apple is Adding the Home to Their Ecosystem

• Apple releasing a Home application, similar to their Activity app, that will control IoT devices within the home

• AppleTV is their central hub for everything, like Nest and Xbox (and soon the Amazon Echo)

• I just did a Siri post, now think about having home commands like, “Turn off all the lights.”, or “Give Jason 24-hour access to the front door.”

• Microsoft will be on this soon, and I think they’ll pass Google before long

1. This is an experimental blog post format—similar to a podcast, but much more freeform. Please let me know in the comments what you think of it.
