Nice posting and supports this common sense approach to well connected everything. It's silly for all devices to try to re-invent their control mechanisms and act as islands. That was cool in the 70's and 80's, but then again so were AMC Pacer cars! IoE makes sense today. Allowing devices which are becoming more and more intelligent and provide to them a connected intelligent utility at the end of an RJ45. The real question for everyone today is not WHY, but WHY NOT?
