If TI would like to see “An Internet of Things” then it should embrace IPV6 which will allow every device in your home to have a unique, internet routable, IP address. This would allow remote control of all those things from anywhere you have internet connectivity. Presently, remote control is hampered by NAT and requires people to use Dynamic DNS (which you have to pay for) in order to access devices connected via a NAT Router. I was just looking at the TI (CC3000-TiWi-SL) which is a complete WiFi node (no software needed) in a single package. Its purpose is to make simple, low cost, devices that connect to the internet. The trouble with this device is that it only supports IPV4 which has now run out of routable addresses. This device would be infinitely more powerful if it supported IPV6 with the much larger IPV6 address space.
