You are wrong.
IoT is an invasion of privacy no matter who use it.
It can only be malevolent because what else will a coffee machine(or anything else for that matter) do on the internet but send data from your home to someone that is not you.
We have all lost our collective minds when it comes to relinquishing our rights to privacy.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
I have a Zigbee setup that is technically IoT and I don’t think my local Home Assistant server is invading my privacy. I will agree for cloud based setups though.
