Revolv will stop working on May 15, it's owned by Nest

Not sure if anyone is using Revolv, if so heads up as Nest is planning on shutting it down May 15th

Why Nest’s Revolv hubs won’t be the last IoT devices knocked offline

TIPS: POST VC VERSION #. Explain what you want VC to do. Say what you've tried & what happened, or post a video demo. Attach VC log. Link to instructions followed.  Post your command (xml)

that what always scares me with IoT ... ultimately someone has the kill switch :(
When Voice command gets tough, use hand gestures

Certainly true for anything that relies on a cloud hosted service in order to function.

Many things that I consider to be part of the internet of things are still safe from this for the most part, and that includes VoxCommando.  8)
