Re: We shouldn't have skipped the time when it was the Intranet of Things
I've commented on this exact thing before and this confirms everything I have already said: Until a robust, inherently secure, industry standard protocol has been designed, agreed upon and adopted by all these IoT tat vendors so that they all work together seamlessly but are also extremely difficult to hack, then this is a complete non-starter for me.
I daresay there could already be a protocol out there which is ideal for this and is freely available for use, but irrespective of that, until these things are fully compatible across vendors and their security is as good as it can be made by default, none of these glorified trinkets is of interest to me.
