Fighting Off The IoT Zombie Hoard With Jim Hunter Oct 27, 2016

Show notes

Last week's botnet attack was akin to a massive technology-driven zombie attack, as hundreds of thousands of IoT and smart home devices were taken over by a malicious strain of malware called Mirai. The result was a massive DDOS attack on popular consumer websites such as Soundcloud and Twitter. To discuss the implications of Mirai on the IoT and smart home industry, Mike is joined by the Internet of Things Consortium's Jim Hunter. You can find out more about Jim at www.greenwavesystems.com.

Reinventing the Home Intercom System With Jonathan Frankel of Nucleus Sep 16, 2016

Show notes

Lots of homes have intercom systems. Most of them suck and are antiquated. And pretty much no one has video intercom systems, at least ones that use Wi-Fi and are developed for consumers. Enter Jonathan Frankel and Nucleus. Jonathan went to CES 2014 and toured the floor looking to see if anyone was offering a consumer Wi-Fi video intercom system for the home. No one was and Nucleus was born the next day. You can find out more about Nucleus at www.nucleuslife.com If you want to come see Mike in Seattle and hang out with smart home luminaries like Charlie Kindel of Amazon Alexa, come to the Smart Kitchen Summit.
