The problem with airgapping IoT things, is that a lot of them require, or at least request, off site data. Like a smart fridge. While it might be able to update your shopping list while you're local, I'd want it to display the current weather and news. Some home security systems stream status and video.

But for the items that don't require data from the net, air gapping would be the easiest solution.
