I just bought a $20 Lacrosse remote RF temperature sensor hub for home, the GW-1000U. It does the usual IoT things: after you plug it in, it gets a DHCP address and phones home, then you register it using a smartphone on the same LAN, which I'm guessing finds the device via a broadcast and then configures the hub with my Lacrosse account info. All communication is thereafter through the cloud.
That last sentence is sub-optimal. And as you note, things go downhill from there....
