Re: [httpslocal/usecases] Collect use cases (#1)

You already have the home-automation use case on the list, but I'd like to reinforce this aspect.

Currently, many home automation providers - be them open source such as home assistant/iobroker, or consumer gadgets like Nuki, Nest, Alexa or professional solutions (I know a few very large, German home automation manufacturers that are affected) - only allow HTTP connections, or allow HTTPS connections and take into account that the user will be presented a very dangerously looking warning by the browser (when accessed by a human) or implement HTTPS security only partially (when accessed by another machine).

I think this is very unfortunate, and it's harming the "Smart Home" scenario as a whole, and I'm glad that you are working on changing this.
Btw: I've written a blog post with some insights, ramblings and proposals here: https://dev.to/danielkun/where-is-https-for-iot-49ao

I'd be glad if you could provide you with further information regarding requirements in smart home / IoT scenarios, if required.
