I'm always amazed at how cynical HN can be on IoT. I work at a facility with tens of thousands of sensors that are critical to safely and efficiently running the operation. IoT is spilling into the residential sector because of how successful it has been in the commercial world and because many people find it to be a useful addition to their household. Are there issues that the industry needs to resolve? Absolutely. Should the buyer made an educated purchase? Sure. But the answer to some IoT systems being insecure is not that the whole field is a gimmick only for the "smart"! I wouldn't even call residential IoT a mature technology yet - of course there are going to be issues.
