Title: Revolv will stop working on May 15, it's owned by Nest
Post by: PegLegTV on April 05, 2016, 02:33:38 PM

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 (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3051760/hubs-controllers/why-nests-revolv-hubs-wont-be-the-last-iot-devices-knocked-offline.html?NL=WIN-01&Issue=WIN-01_20160405_WIN-01_436&sfvc4enews=42&cl=article_4_3)

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)
