If you're using those devices, you're toast! I'll rather wait until IoT
('Internet of Things') is becoming mature enough to be useful... [1]

When I'm big and I'm near that king mentioned in that excellent joke, I want to
be a EE, Electrical Engineer!
A quote from the joke - "A toaster that only makes toast will soon be
obsolete." - Hmmm, does it matter whether it can do white bread or brown bread?

[1] - At my previous house I have these devices - garden sprinkler timers,
geyser timer, swimming pool filter timer, programmable alarm system, lighting
timer, then of course I have 3 computers to play with. Nice to have them,
until they break... ask me how I know it. ;-[
