    I agree with you, but I would add that they also might be doing their best to crosstrack what other products you use and how. Obviously, that’s one of the reasons why you have them quarantined in the first place. I just wanted to mention it in case a reader wants to set up a different network for each potential creepy device. I don’t.

      Crosstracking is indeed a thing. Obviously it has its limits, since the other devices have to communicate back. It should be easy enough to see all devices that are on the same network though.

      IoT is a popular attack vector. So proper precautions should be made. Perhaps only give them access to your guest wi-fi. Perhaps a separate network entirely.
