The S in IoT is for Security

I agree, but what I dont like is how to function a device needs Internet connectivity. Our smart vaccum cannot work with its app unless its connected to thr Internet. The nice thing is we can see its progress on mobile data, etc, but its a little ott for a 3rd party server to be involved. I'd prefer it to be local only.

I don't know of an off-the-shelf one you could buy.

For the tinkerers, https://dontvacuum.me/ and dustcloud/dustbuilder as search terms.

I have a roborock(Xiaomi sub-corporate brand) firmware flashed to no longer need internet, hosts "the database" on itself which is great for latency/responsiveness, provides web page functionality so you can use it from your phone, computer etc.

I quite like it.

Nice, I have the xaoimi mi vaccum Mop, not sure it's supported by that site just yet, but glad someone has taken up the challenge. It's a great little device.
