  Based upon a study of how to capture data from Internet of Things (IoT)
devices, this paper explores the challenges for data centric design
ethnography. Often purchased to perform specific tasks, IoT devices exist in a
complex ecosystem. This paper describes a study that used a variety of methods
to capture the interactions an IoT device engaged in when it was first setup.
The complexity of the study that is explored through the annotated
documentation across video and router activity, presents the ethnographic
challenges that designers face in an age of connected things.
