I resent that consumer IoT is almost always required to connect to a cloud service. I love the idea of an IoT house - smart lamps, smart locks, cameras, climate conrtol, etc. I only want them connected to my LAN. If I want to access any of their controls remotely, I will set up a VPN or otherwise they should provide a jump service locally, not require cloud connectivity.

Apparently, the firmware on some IKEA smart home devices can be easily flashed.
