If nostr can do secret chat…
If nostr can do secret chat without leaking metadata, could it be used for smart device control?
This could help nostr get a foothold in mainstream adoption. Companies that make devices are rarely tech companies, but specialists in lightning, airconditioning, security cameras etc. Unlike twitter or Facebook, they have nothing to lose to an open protocol but would gain from interoperability with other smart devices. Secure platform that doesn't collect user data would be preferable to Google Home. A lot of people bawk at having google listen to their bedroom conversations, who wouldn't bat an eyelid with google knowing their browser history.
