Question: ICT or not?

Wondering if someone can help me here?
For an ICT: "the principal function is the creation, conversion,
duplication, automatic acquisition, storage, analysis, evaluation,
manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching,
interchange, transmission, reception, or broadcast of data or information".

So can the following types of devices be termed  as ICT  based on their
principal function?
An EV charger: it can be operated via a supported mobile app to which it
connects wirelessly. The EV charger itself may have a ready state indicator
and perhaps an on/off switch.
A thermostat like Nest: one can use controls on the device to regulate
temperature. This too connects wirelessly via a mobile app and one can
interact with the device.
Home security system: Again the same thing. It can be controlled via a
mobile app.

The visual info on the screens for these devices is available through the
app and though the device does not directly provide audio output one can
use a screen reader with the mobile app effectively when connected
wirelessly with the device. These are closed functionality devices.
Thanks
Sailesh
