[ale] IoT

[Chris Fowler]

Make your own. Secure your own. 

The MCUs are more than capable of being secure now. 

On MQTT user encryption in the data stream. Use user/pass to the broker. Use encryption on the data. 

My problem with IoT is that vendors lock me in to their ideas. Making my own allows me to do what I want to do. 

Zigbee? Z-Wave? Neither. Make my own!
