The only IoT-enabled device I have (or plan to ever have) is a single electrical plug that I keep my swamp cooler plugged in to. It lets me turn it on and off from the couch, and set schedules for it to come on when I'm out of town so my house stays cool enough for my cats. It's genuinely useful and it was like $10. I've never really seen any other attractive use case for IoT shit--certainly not fucking shoes.
I've got a couple bluetooth plugs around my house that were given to me. I plug my lamps into them, so I can crawl into bed to read and then turn off the lights without getting up. One of the only cool things IoT has given us, I think.
The clapper could already do that.
