Do most IoT devices require a gateway? Is there a standard that all manufacturers use, so you don't have to buy multiple gateways? If no, why not?

@thor
My personal guess is we'll have to wait a few years for a worthwhile standard to get adopted. In the meantime, it's less IoT and more Io💩

@skypage Why do manufacturers always do this... Every fucking time there is an innovation, everyone promptly devises a proprietary protocol for it to create vendor lock-in. The IT industry has learned nothing. WiFi, Bluetooth, USB and HTML5 were just flukes. 😞
