> for anything connected to the internet
Are you sure? iirc that (for now?) only applies to stuff with wireless connectivity, though maybe I'm misinformed or misremembering.
Which would still be "all IoT, basically", of course.
Hum, I don't really know. I was pretty sure it applies to anything connected to the internet even if it's Ethernet-only, but double checked. And reading the EU directive, it looks pretty obvious to me that you're right, it's only for devices with wireless connectivity... (the wireless connectivity doesn't need to be wifi/internet though. like if you have a 433mhz-to-ethernet gateway it still fits).
(Technically it says "which intentionally emits and/or receives radio waves for the purpose of radio communication", I'll let HN crowd determine if Ethernet emits/receive radio waves in an enclosed channel called Ethernet cable)
