I'm sorry, but if you ask me to install your private CA on any of my devices... I would politely tell you to stop.

As for house guests, I really like what OnHub did - you could allow anyone to network to control certain IoT devices. When someone was house sitting for me, they could have control thermostat, lights, etc from their phone without any apps or "add household member" shenanigans.




That's what I do, I just hijack home.com to do it and don't care about SSL on my intranet.


> allow anyone to network to control certain IoT devices

Yeah that makes sense :)

My own house is not really IoTified yet. I have a single "smart" plug that I can turn on or off with an app that the night table lamp on one side of the bed is plugged into. But I could see the appeal of having the IoT setup accessible to guests for people that have more IoT stuff in their house.
