I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

    Lots of appliances implement the Whisper protocol, which is like zigbee but with lower power requirements if I recall correctly. I think there’s also something about how whisper is a true mesh network whereas zigbee requires dedicated hubs.

    I could be very wrong about this.

      Pretty sure Zigbee does support mesh, maybe not Zigbee direct though. Thanks for pointing out Whisper, can you please share a link to specs and an example of appliances? Somehow I seem to only find Ethereum related links.
