From the article:

   Imagine:
      + Your thermostat adjusting the temperature automatically as you
        enter the room.
      + Your TV resuming your favorite show that you were watching
        yesterday as you sit on the couch
      + Your car door automatically opening when approach [sic] the
        vehicle and adjusting its seat position and temperature based
        on your preferences

None of those need depend on cloud services at all. I'd argue that two of them (1 and 3) should absolutely *not* involve cloud services, because the providers will *never ever* get security right (because security isn't profitable), nor can they be trusted to not shut down their services and/or remotely brick your devices (we have already seen examples of all of these problems).

You IoT kids get off my lawn!  :-)
