If we can empower users build their own pipes between devices and online services, then we spur competition which could lead to better security. We need a gateway that gives users that choice. I've been working on command line interfaces for devices that can be used to pipe data/state back and forth between command line interfaces. These interfaces to devices and online services can be written in any language and run nicely on small computers like the $35 Raspberry Pi. The downside is setting these pipes up requires familiarity with the command line... But if there was some funding there we could build a UI that was easy to use... So I actually built that, but don't have the time to maintain it. For the time being I'm maintaining these command line interfaces.
