Oh yay, more regulation. Unless its to say that all devices are required to have a documented local-first and local-only API to control the device I don't really care. Oh, and the ability to disable any kind of cloud connection whatsoever.

From the post: "The smart home is still broken, and surprisingly, interoperability isn’t the issue. The problem is, when it comes to connected devices, consumers are buying hardware that behaves like software. And unlike hardware, which fails in fairly predictable and established ways, software breaks in opaque and surprising ways. It’s hard to classify this disconnect. It can feel like you don’t really own your connected devices or you can’t rely on them. And if we want things to get better for consumers, we need both manufacturers and regulators to step up. "

Provided that regulation only extends to standardization of the tech

Ripe for an industry standard, like how the NFPA creates fire codes
