I think a lot of people are missing the point about IoT and in party I blame the term itself.
Try and turn it around.
Instead of calling it Internet of things which indicate it it's own thing, instead think of it as things connected to the internet.
Now you realize that this is already happening and it's a combination of our phones and our fridges, watering systems and load balancers all able to communicate.
So the user stories are already there we just don't think about them as that because of this claim of a separate internet. It's not. It's the same.
We know. A lot of stuff gets connected to the Internet that should not be. The architecture is wrong, too. Sure, I want my fridge to notify me on my phone about shortage of ketchup, or something. But it should not be doing it through third party's crappy server.
In a way, it's the problem of the current Internet, but exported to the hardware world. Just like NATs killed publishing, they also kill sanity in the design of connected things. I wish we could deploy IPv6 faster. Yes, I want my fridge to have its own IP - so that I won't have to proxy the communication through some random fly-by-night web startup.
