Yes, incoming.
Outgoing is another can of worms.
I try to run any of my iot devices on an isolated network. At most, they can see eachother, and that's it.
Some devices need an internet connection, unfortunately.
The best you can do, if you're unable to block their collection outright, is to run them through a tracker-blocking DNS (either self-hosted or something like Adguard DNS).
That can minimize unnecessary pings home.
Personally, if I think that a device is being malicious in their attempts to phone home, I stop using the device. I also try to make an effort to not get a smart device, if the alternative (unconnected option) works fine.
Digital minimalism is one way to protect ourselves from rampant data collection and profiling.
