[Electronics-Talk] Appliances Control With IPhone

[Jim McCarthy]

Yes, and I think the market will need to reach agreement as I do not see the
political system weighing in on that. My answer would be the same, by the
way, regardless what happened with our vote yesterday.

It depends on what you're asking for.

The Insta pot and other "internet of things" appliances each have their own
app, some like the insta-pot will be accessible, others will not.  So, you
could say they've just moved the accessibility problem from the base of the
appliance to your phone.

A nice place for the market to get to, if you're a blind person, is an
agreed upon wireless standard to be used to control all such devices. I am
highly skeptical that this will happen.  It isn't in anybody's interest but
ours to make it happen.
