HTI+ Sadly No Longer Live

Too bad the HTI+ (Home Technology Integrator) certification is no longer available. See:

I passed the DHTI+ in December of 2006 by passing the Beta exam. Now it's retired, along with my i-Net+ and my CDIA+.

Well, that's not gonna stop me from doing some purple hat operations on my washer and dryer. If I'm gonna drop nearly $2k for IoT enabled laundry machines, I'm gonna have a little bit of fun with them.

My wife already disapproves of this...hence the donning of the black fedora will be in order...

Rick, loved this:
It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.
Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories,
instead of theories to suit facts.” - Sherlock Holmes

As noted in the article I wrote, "... enabled me to make data-driven decisions relating to energy use and conservation designed to reduce overall energy costs." You can't tell a book (or appliance) by its shape and function. Hence the reason I'm going through my home, device by device, determining which of the candidate appliances are power vampires (see screenshot below measuring my toaster that isn't). Does anyone want to place a bet on how my electric toothbrush will be classified?

I'll just ask your dentist. That should give me the info I need. LOL

With the rise of IoT and integrated smart buildings I hope a new cert is in the works.

With the rise of IoT and integrated smart buildings I hope a new cert is in the works.

I know of some new certs that are under development from CompTIA but none seem to be IoT focused.

CertNexus has two different IoT certs. They also have some AI certs.
