Just tried this with my home solar setup — inverter publishing to a local MQTT broker. The onboarding flow was genuinely fast -- I'll be trying it out for a few more devices over the weekend.

The $6m is obviously trivial for Meta/Google, and will barely register as a rap on the knuckle, but the precedent is a big deal. I would love to see courts taking a bit more of a stance on the way social media apps knowingly bake in addictive elements into their product while at the same time turning a blind eye to underage users getting sucked into their platforms. I hope there can be more of a balanced approach in the long term.

This is a good way to breathe new life into existing tech for your smart home ecosystem. My setup mainly consists of Philips Hue lights at the moment, which. I have hooked up using Openclaw, I'd love to add more smart functionality and like an intercom, thermostat and digital lock, but the current devices are stuck in the past, so cant do much at the moment.

What are your thoughts on OC security?

I keep mine locked down with access only to my own chat. Hopefully that keeps it from leaking my API keys to the universe.
