This was what felt like a very quick panel discussing the current state and future predictions for connected Internet of Things home technology. Present were Letha McLaren from iControl Networks, Chris Klein from Rachio, Kyle Nakatsuji of American Family Ventures and Chris Kim from August.
I live-tweeted this session, so I’ve included my tweets below (apologies to Letha for the autocorrect typo):
