&gt; I think IoTs with web interfaces aren&#x27;t a bad idea.<p>I think it is. The internet-of-things does not need to suffer from massive power consumption and hard to implement on the micro-controller scale protocols.<p>It needs something much more along the lines of encrypted UDP than that it needs to use &#x27;web technologies&#x27;. Imagining a stack made on &#x27;web technologies&#x27; running off power harvested over a relatively long period of time is painful.
