paraphrase> The plug connects to a Chinese IP.
It's time we setup a standard so that everybody can choose there own "cloud" server for these "smart" home electronics. These manufacturers should not be building their own.
Of course the app on your phone could also just connect to the bloody thing itself instead of using these relay servers of the manufacturer. (yes I know, NAT punching is a PITA, but better than this)
