Just because the internet of things was two hype cycles ago doesn't mean we can't still dunk on it.

There certainly are very useful applications for IoT. For example, at my house it regulates heating. It probably saved like 30% on my heating, with the added bonus that every room is the exact temperature I want. Of course, this is all done locally on Home Assistant. If I can at all avoid it, I don't want any IoT device that connects to someone else's cloud.
