I really question more the risk reward trade off of these devices. What is having an internet connected coffee maker buying me? Is the minutes save per month worth the security risk it’s exposing me? This coupled with the knowledge these are mostly discount devices made with the least amount of on going support intended, you pretty much know you’re setup for a disaster.

Additionally, I was finding most of these devices were actually increasing the time it took to do something rather than enabling some impossible interaction.

I’m short on IoT except for industrial usage, where you are displacing an inspector or a manual data collection. That said those spaces are just as bad as the home devices.
