>Home IoT might be crap, but it really has a place in manufacturing and monitoring.

What will IoT will bring to manufacturing that hasn't already existed for the past few decades? I started my career in manufacturing at a pretty large company around 2010, and quite literally every process was being monitored over a network. I worked with a framework called XMII (formerly Lighthammer[1]) that integrated with SAP and allowed us to read from various sensors collecting data on manufacturing lines and built dashboards for monitoring.

That sounds more like Intranet of Things, and is probably better for anything where security matters.

It seems like the consumer side is the one catching up and IoT is the buzzword marketing calls it, kinda like "the cloud".
