This is, for me, one of the most enraging situations in regard to technology that I have experienced. I frankly don't understand how these companies don't grasp the concept that if their products work with every other product, then everyone is going to want to work with you.

@Richboy50 - On a different tangent than other comments: the "internet of things" has, for me, turned out just to be a giant security vulnerability. My husband is all for it hook/line/sinker, but personally I don't see the benefit of turning on lamps using your phone instead of your hands, or why the refrigerator needs to communicate with...anything at all. We went from a perfectly fine programmable thermostat to one that now spies on us. Even the smoke detectors track our movements. WHY?
