I don't get it. Little "drivers" that provide functionality, and then the ability to link button presses to those drivers. And I guess some meta knowledge of ports, standard addresses?

Where is the "requirement" for edge computing? Where is the need for their continuous services?

I thought that most companies doing this at least tacked on extraneous features that then justified their subscription. You're supposed to pretend it's necessary! Did they skip that step?
