> Why does any of it operate on remote cloud API calls when it could operate locally? Vendor lock-in, and gives them the ability in the future to hold your devices hostage by requiring you to pay a subscription fee. Various IoT platforms, eg Tyua (which gets rebranded a lot), sell a complete package that is totally cloud oriented. Configure the product behavior online, click order, purchase 10000 controller chips preflashed with firmware implementing said behavior, integrate with devices, slap logo on it, sell. Also, maybe the developers of these products only know how to write cloud enabled software? (slightly joking) |
