What's your attitude towards IoT stuff in your house?

I know this isn't enterprise-related, but there's a lot of people around here on the front lines of network security. I thought I'd ask, particularly with Christmas coming up.

Are you ok with port-forwarding at home for all the little gizmos available these days, like Nests thermometers, doorbells, lights, TVs, etc? Do you set up a separate VLAN for them?

Personally, I don't trust the various manufacturers to make secure products and don't port forward anything, but sometimes it would be a nice-to-have. I also sometimes think about maybe getting a separate internet connection just for that stuff.

Mods: Delete if you think this is inappropriate for the sub.
