Some rants, some tech, some random thoughts…

At this year’s CES, I spoke on a conference panel about smart lighting, entitled Smart Lighting Just Needs to Work. The panel was part of a half-day conference series sponsored by the Bluetooth SIG.

On the panel, I joined Avi-on Labs‘ COO, Dana Kunz, and Cassia Networks‘ CEO & Founder, Felix Zhao. The Bluetooth SIG‘s Director of Marketing, Katy Scheck, facilitated the panel discussion, in which we explored some of the biggest challenges facing consumers and product companies in the lighting space.

The Bluetooth SIG published a blog post highlighting some of the key takeaways from the various sessions and pointed out my callout of iDevice’s announced Instant Switch.
