IoT Inspector is a standalone desktop app that lets you analyze your home IoT devices. It allows you to determine
- who your IoT devices are communicating with
- when the communication happens
- how many bytes are sent and received over time
These features will help you identify potential problems on your home network, including
- security problems (e.g., your camera sending out lots of traffic even when you are not using it)
- privacy problems (e.g., your smart TV contacting advertising or tracking companies as you watch TV)
- performance problems (e.g., identifying who is using up the most bandwidth in your home network)
