Pockit is just one of the small parts needed to automate parts of your house. All your devices have to cooperate smoothly and this will require a standardized IoT API from manufacturers.



That exists, eg Zigbee or Z-Wave. I have Zigbee (it's an open standard) and I love it.

Having the home automation communications be a message queue instead of a general-purpose communication protocol is so much better.


And he has a ZigBee module


Sure but you could 3d print parts to automate traditional things and build on top of pockit. That’s what I like.
