Building a huge complex and expensive system to save you 3 second to check the weather is not what I would call revolutionary.

Then it's a good thing that thats not the only thing it does and that it's never been the claim from anyone.

Right now it's pretty much what it does. Small little things that takes 2 seconds without it. And it's less reliable. I've yet to witness a revolutionary use of IoT.

I use it for a hell of a lot more than just the weather. Google Home is reliable. Siri isn't.
