I think the reason the phrase causes me to eyeroll so hard is that I hear it spoken with the wrong emphasis far too often. It should be emphasized "the Internet of Things", but I too often here "the Internet of things." The latter intonation is almost as if the speaker is saying "it's the Internet, of all things" as if the "of all things" was just an adjunct clause, similar to "it's the Internet, can you imagine?"
In any case, this does look like an interesting project. I imagine 'magic' will be hampered by inconsistencies among the various Things being controlled, such as inconsistent reporting units or eccentric behavior. I guess we'll see.
