Here's my take on this important question: Our mission is to "promote openness, innovation and opportunity on the Web". Neither IoT in general nor the connected home more specifically is today part of the open web. But if we move quickly and aggressively enough into this immature market, we may have the opportunity to shape the technology, plant our flag and claim the connected home as part of the open web. And if we can pull this off, then our mission and manifesto become very relevant.
I think this is the same thing we tried to do in the smartphone market, but this time we've picked an industry segment that is not already so mature that it is hard to break in to.
