IoT (Internet of Things)[edit | edit source]
This term refers to products which may or may not use 3rd party Internet service to provide a service, this could be for information sharing, for example a camera feed or baby monitor, or for control and management of the device remotely, for example a Ring doorbell.
Some of these devices (though not many) can carry out their work indefinitely with no internet connections, controlled locally on your LAN and not requiring servers for activation. A grey area happens with products like BRLite, for example, which will monitor you if it can, but the lights continue to work with newly installed APKs after grid down.
The term Internet of Things also refers to networks used specifically for these kinds of devices, like LoRa, though not all are proprietary.
