I was formerly at Stringify, which was a home automation app with 70+ integrations supporting 600+ devices. We were acqui-hired and decommissioned.
In my current role, I have met with several large tech companies over the past few months - and this seems to be exactly what they want - an easy way to integrate lots of third party devices into their own app(s). I guess Stringify was just a bit too early (2014-2017).
The consumer IoT space has been getting worse in the past 5 years. Companies used to provide open APIs. Then, just an IFTTT integration instead. Then, just an Alexa/GH integration instead.
Thanks! btw I don't know if you recall this, but very early on in Seam, you took the time to give us some advice. That was really kind and thoughtful. Thank You!
