Not just white label products. Most consumer oriented IoT like systems only focus on the happy-path. As there’s no integration and the owners are early adopters, that’s fine.  Industrial Thing Makers tend to be domain experts in the industry, and have very immature s/w engineering awareness. The question needs to be asked. There may be an answer. For some usecases, it will be possible to trust the answer.

Never seen shodan before. Seems to confuse Address, Name and Identity.  NEA sounds like a good idea to me. But I’ve not read it (yet). Thanks for introducing that, too.
