From my marketing knowledge, IoT is NOW very special thing, You must do widely used hardware to make additional services for it. Or You could stay on shoulders of somebody, who have very successful hardware, but in this case, your business will be depend on them.

I know very few examples of successful IoT businesses, and they all working with model I said: Ring (now Amazon Ring), Ajax (home security).

May it will change in nearest future, but now I know lot of unsuccessful IoT businesses, who tried to use others hardware as foundations.

I'm electronics and software dev with lot of experience, if you wish to talk about hardware, I'm open. Thanks.
