One of many reasons why I don’t even bother with IoT devices. Don’t need all this crap to be connected to wifi. There was nothing wrong with it before.

Necessary? Perhaps not but helpful.
Heating valves for example.
The definition of iot from Wikipedia also does it.
But honestly why I hate my iot window blinds device it's the perfect excuse to use vlan at home.
