What I’m trying to teach myself to do whenever I think “this is ridiculous overcomplexity” is to imagine whose life it might make simpler. Let’s assume I have some sort of motor disability: it could be anything from Parkinsons to quadraplegia. Having a bridge out to a common controller that maybe works on speech or some other standardised input method that works for your disability is a massive benefit. And avoids ha…

You certainly don't need a cloud defaulted device in order to do what you describe. There are plenty of assistants, Google and Alexa being two, that can talk to things on your local network with a REST API. That controller also has a gig of memory, plenty enough to run a little API. What manufacturers like about cloud enabled devices is that they can automatically upgrade the firmware and they can get semi-accurate c…

I think this goes right back to the parent's point. I presume you personally could set that up. I probably could too. But 99% of the world isn't tech experts and can't do that.

The benefit of cloud integration, for that 99%, is that there is a professional out there to keep…

No it's actually 2-3k+ usd. I had done some cursory considering of it over the past few months because it seems like a potentially reasonable solution to a real problem I struggle with. But yeah part of it is like, it's really weird. If you asked me how much consistently better sleep would be worth, the answer is how much do you want? But phrase that as "Bed as a service" and my reflex is "you're kidding, righr?"

I'm interested if anyone has pulled the same thing with eight sleep. Not having access to control my bed's temperature because my internet is out bothers me deeply.
