Iirc Amazon has a special tooling for creating iot devices. It’s supposed to make creating the communication easier so you don’t have a bunch badly implemented communication systems. Ofc it uses Amazon’s cloud.
I would not be surprised if they all failed this way due to using the tool. As in the Dev’s code might not even get to know there was an outage, and the tool just keeps telling it the last state it got.
It’s kind of amazing to think about how none of these products are designed to have a fallback functionality during an outage.

Yeah, it’s almost certain everybody would just end up using the same library.
