Wiz walks away from $23B deal with Google

This is great news !

I use wiz for my home lighting and automation, I'm so glad that google did not buy it due to its habit of killing things that I find useful.

I want my hardware to last longer than the current decision makers employment.

Edit: hah, the site becomes available AFTER i submit so now I can read it.

How are you using a cyber security platform for home lighting/automation?

Didn't realize there was a WiZ that specializes in home lighting https://www.wizconnected.com/en-us

Per their About Us page, they are an "IoT platform for smart lighting solutions and smart services" and "offer people connected lighting".

That's actually the only "wiz" I was familiar with in the tech space. They're Philip Hue's budget line for the past 5 years and they've got various partner brands (most the notably Walmart house brand) that use their smart platform.
