Im in the same boat, I find the concepts very fascinating but almost all of it is trying to solve problems that don't even exist for me.

The only thing my friends with IoT devices do are party tricks on voice command with their smart lights. Other than that, I find the so called 'problems' these devices solving are extraordinarily trivial.

My favorite part of my IoT loving friends' party tricks is that they only even seem to work about 40% of the time. Most of the gimmicks might be worth having if they worked 99.9% of the time and I didn't have to sell my soul to get them, but as is they're a half-baked solution to problems that I don't actually have.
