Seriously. I have opted out of IoT because I have better things to do than deal with a hacked IoT device.
My smart TV -- not connected to the internet.
No smart lights, etc.
Sure it would be nice to have some of this tech. But the downside of dealing with a compromised IoT device is not worth it.
It is enough work worrying about my regular computers getting hacked!

... or just decide that the hassle of insecure devices isn't worth it
