Everyone is talking about the internet of things.

Turning the physical objects of our home into cloud-enabled, smart devices that communicate with each other seems like the way our society should be shifting.

But have we taken it too far with new innovations like smart dishwashers and smart refrigerators?

Roel Peeters, the Founder & CEO of Roost says so.

And on today\\u2019s episode of FNO: InsureTech, we are discussing Roost, the technology behind it, and how his IoT company differs from the rest. Roost is transforming homeowners and commercial insurance with smart, in-home solutions\\u2014by partnering with some of the most innovative insurance companies in the world to deliver telematics for the home.

Tune in to this episode to hear Roel\\u2019s insights on IoT-based insurance solutions.

\\u201cThe concept of the internet of things is not a justification in and of itself to start replacing stuff around the home. That\\u2019s why I always focus on: what\\u2019s the problem you\\u2019re solving.\\u201d - Roel Peeters
