IFA has closed its doors and, as expected, presented a number of innovations in the Smart Home area. There was special focus on voice control, uncountable sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT) as well as smart household appliances and multimedia products. Unfortunately, many of these new things do not really have a raison d’être and all these ideas have one vital shortcoming: they are often only proprietary systems.
