It seems as though every month or two we're seeing IoT vendors go belly up or abandon the area entirely, leaving their customers in the lurch. Three years seems like a decent amount of time at least but it would be nice if they would actually open up the hardware rather than bricking perfectly good cameras or sensors. There needs to be regulation around this kind of thing -- make it so any product that is dependent upon the cloud must have its server and device source code released to the public no less than 180 days prior to any end of life date. It may chill new entrants into the market but it will definitely be a pro-consumer move and maybe encourage more openness all around.
