Please enable network monitoring so that IoT Transparency can collect and show you data about which companies your IoT devices are contacting.
This is a core part of our study, and we ask you to enable this for at least {{ arp_spoof_min }} devices with some variety of device types and manufacturers.
Network monitoring may cause performance issues on some devices and networks, so if you encounter any issues, you may disable it at any time.
When you enable network monitoring, network traffic going to and from the devices you monitor is routed through your Home Assistant server. IoT Transparency will locally store information about which IP addresses are being contacted by devices on your network. IoT Transparency will not inspect the content of your network traffic, or send information about the IP addresses or companies being contacted to the researchers.
We use a technique called ARP spoofing to intercept network traffic intended for your smart-home devices. This causes the monitored devices to route their network traffic through your Home Assistant server. IoT Transparency inspects that traffic and records information about the time of the activity, the IP address and internet domain being contacted and the amount of data. IoT Transparency does not not inspect or store any content of communications. This data is stored locally on your device and is not sent to the researchers.
