[Electronics-Talk] Control of Electronics Via Smart Device

[Tracy Carcione]

I heard a story on the radio recently that said household appliances
connected to the Internet, i.e., your phone, are the new favorite target for
hackers.  The phone is secure; the router is secure, but internet-connected
appliances are not.  Get into one of them, and you slide through to the
phone and the router.
No Thanks.  I'll pass on appliances that connect to my phone.

Hello again everyone,

     Mike's post got me to thinking of an idea. You can buy universal remote
controls that can be pared with some appliances such as entertainment
systems for example. One idea would be to develop a desktop or mobile device
app that can be pared with house-hold appliances of all types to allow them
to be controlled by PCS or mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Perhaps it's time a company was established to create such interfaces. This
is going to require the effort of multiple individuals and of course money
to fund such a project. Here is an example of what we can do to solve
appliance accessibility issues without laying the blame at the doorsteps of
polititians especially those who have yet to be sworn into public office.
