Personally I would rather that API was a royalty free web standard than a proprietary native mobile API which could be changed or removed at the whim of one company.

Previously, I've held conference talks about #Webthings which is based on the #WebOfThings. It is an upcoming HTTP standard for making the #InternetOfThings more interoperable.

This year I've been experimenting with #IoT via #Matrix. Yes, that's a lot of overhead, but in some cases you may want the ownership of a persistent log that's encrypted at rest and full-featured access control over who can view and edit the state of your IoT.
I'm preparing a talk for #FrOSCon and the #MatrixSummit.

#WebThings is an open-source Home Automation platform. It's not limited to real devices. You can build a #WebOfThings device for anything.

I build one for a virtual house in the #videogame #CS2D.
