I think a couple of these stretch the credulity of being criteria of a “safe” device, compared to your original list. The hardware/software must be fully documented reads as “must be open source”. There needs to be some incentive for quality vendors to get in the game, and most (all?) of them want to take some measures to ensure no one steals their design.

Open means auditable which should be safer, and also will help to keep the device running if the service on the other side disappears. After all there are trade-offs here, for instance one device might be open source on the device but talking to a service vs a closed source device using an open protocol. My own main gripe with the idea is that people in general just don't seem to care at all, it's just a few hardcore tech people that see where this is all headed.
