Oh Dear, it’s Business as Usual …

Posted on by

Today, I was made aware of an announcement from Revolv (a NEST Company). See the following quotes from their site…  (http://revolv.com/)

“What happens to my Revolv service? – As of May 15, 2016, Revolv service will no longer be available. The Revolv app won’t open and the hub won’t work.”

“Is my product still under warranty? – No. Our one-year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship has expired for all Revolv products.”

and if you do a quick search, (there’s plenty on the internet at the moment) the topic has moved along to “help on a case by case basis”, after an interesting barrage and ongoing public dirty laundry airing. Including the usual top management claims that the engineers they obtained by acquisition did not perform to expectations. (yeah sure, smells like …)

Now, some of you will be asking why am I writing this….

Well, I want you to be educated and ask the right questions.

The first question I would be asking when considering purchasing a smart device is, does it come with stand alone / inter-operable / public domain protocol options built in?
