Not sure if the Shield would spot any malicious botnets e.g. Mirai eminating to/from your IoT devices.  I'd be curious to know also.

Probably the only way to be 'safe' with IoT is to segment your network so that the IoT devices can only reach the Internet.  Most of these IoT devices require access to the internet to be operable or get updates.  Either way, they dont necessarily need to access your lan, hence the segmentation.  I've not found any good articles or how-to's on this topic, but I recently picked up a Ubiquiti Edge Router X as a first step to create a segmented network.  Not gotten around to configuring it yet though :)
