In September 2016, I was delighted to deliver this talk to ThingMonk 2016.
This is the 20 minute distilation of my adventures Singing to my lightbulbs, hacking my vacuum cleaner, finding my car's source code, hacking my electric car, getting hacked by my light switches, securing my security cameras, and a whole host of other IoT nonsense.
Huge thanks to Bennycrime for filming, and the whole ThingMonk team.
If you'd like me to speak at your conference, please get in touch.
A selection of comments about the talk as I gave it.

Beardy, long haired 'cool guy' @edent hates his life. Because his connected life serves as bad example for everyone else. 🙂 #thingmonk

That was such a great talk by @edent here at @thingmonk, about the horrors of poor software design for the connected home (and car).
