And having an entire seperate network for stuff that's supposed to help run a city, and your home/property, owned by a single company, is an awful idea.
Dude... No. Just... Eh, listen. Sigfox and its competitors are a good alternative to IoT devices that used to have a SIM card for connecting to the Internet. With Sigfox, LoRaWAN etc. they become A LOT more power efficient and significantly cheaper. To the point that they actually become a viable alternative to wifi-enabled stuff like those sensors and doorbells, but if such a sensor is battery-powered, it has to be in a deep sleep state most of the time, so if you want to check your room temperature, you can either wait some 15 minutes until the next measurement, or have the sensor periodically send it to some server either at home (then you usually need to buy an additional gateway), or in the cloud and then such services cost about as much as what you've shown here, but with sigfox having a benefit that if someone steals your doorbell, at least they absolutely can't read your wifi password from it, and if you also have a pet/bike/car tracker, you may like the simplicity of having stuff from the same vendor, so you don't have to install another app for all the different things, or end up in a huge mess of all those things needing to be reconfigured if you change the wifi password at some point. They don't need wifi at all, so you don't need to worry about all of the stuff being in range of your router/gateway. It'll just work pretty much wherever you put it, for all the practical intents and purposes.

Just 'cause it's a "different network" doesn't mean this is "IoT without the internet" it's still compromisable in the same ways of any other network
i see covered parking garages here in LA that already have a light up counter as you enter that inform on total free spots remaining
The parking sensor thing is genius
gimmicky!
Go easy on the coffee man, you're speaking too fast.
I think one needs coffee in the day and then whiskey at night to make a productive life
