New sub forum request for IoT

[fasttimes]

I noticed there isn’t a forum for IoT devices.  Would be nice to have one

Hi fasttimes,

Can you please explain a little as far as what things would be included in there that are not already in NodeLink and Polyglot?

With kind regards,
Michel

Discussions for IoT devices like the Sonoff WiFi switches, or IFTTT and other services. Another possibility is to merge the Alexa/Google Assistant forums into this becuase they are basically the same thing functionality wise.

Hi fasttimes,

Thanks so very much for the details. Since IoT is pretty much definition-less or, better yet, too generic to define, In our vernacular, IoT devices are those that become nodes in ISY. And, for things to become nodes in ISY, they should be developed using our Node Meta Model specs. The implementation of node servers have already been done by ioguy (NodeLink) and our own Open Source Polyglot implementation. 

So, perhaps a forum that has links to all the above but its free form for everyone to discuss other devices?

With kind regards,
Michel
