There is just one open standard. User having root access to the IOT device and scripting there whatever it wants. Any 3rd party dependence is a way of collecting and selling data (google and fitbit acquisition) and should be prohibited. Vote with your wallet, dont buy devices that prohibit you root access and make 3rd party servers access mandatory. Simple as that.
