Beyond mDNS "snooping", has there been reporting of non-compromised IoT inappropriately listening on networks?
To be clear, I agree that putting IoT devices on a separate VLAN is a good idea but I do that because they're black boxes, not because they're malicious.

Well when you're setting up your Roomba in the roomba app, the amazon alexa app unprompted sends a notification to allow Alexa to control it. Only way could be the Echo is listening and hears the Roomba broadcast packets.
