New ideals

Group Home 3

Important Ideals:

* When introducing IoT into the home one often try to enhance already existing solutions. It is important to not mess up the existing solutions when connecting your home to the internet. A minimal criteria of the design is often that the core functionality is left untouched.
Missing Ideals:

* Home applications should be more action-centric. For example, alarm clock should not just alarm, but also encourage other activities such as making breakfast or turning on shower.

* Home applications lack of sharable function. Most home applications are made to be subjective. For example, instead of a smart kitchen controller which can automatically cook according to your personal recipe, you should be able to share recipes with your friends.
