IMO the best IoT is the DIY IoT, the kind that isn't really IoT but rather "I put Wifi on a raspi and connected it to a PCB".

Thankfully the online resources around electronics are plentiful and PCBs can be had for under 10$ incl. S&H.

That way I can make all my lighting IoT without having to deal with the garbage of the IoT industry.

Yes, IoT is great when you can DIY. But when you need to send a technician 2-4 times a year for each node... it’s a problem, not a business.

It's a business for repair technicians :)
