Maybe it's just a naive idea but wouldn't it make sense to have "smart devices" be smart in sofar that they have some local computation power and the ability to communicate near range? Maybe have local orchestrator (e.g., apple tv, google home, what not) dedicated for communicating with companies while the rest stays rather dumb and completely interchangeable. Why is literally every smart device sending back information to another company?? Why aren't Distributed IoT and Smart Objects paradigms more of a thing already?
