Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Maybe I misunderstand but the benefits of the IOT things is to access this stuff remotely, from your phone, from anywhere.
I have some smart lighting which I control from my phone, set up timers, automation etc. It's all local though, I have no need to access it remotely. You can set up a VPN to access your home network remotely if you want to be secure, but I've got no need so it's not worth the effort. But yeah, smart/IoT doesn't have to mean can talk to the public internet!
