Huh. Well thanks for the info. I'm out of town so won't be able to look further for a few days.

It's just really surprising that the system by default allows passers by to connect and manage your devices. I don't know my neighbors too well, but I do live next door to a Chris.

ignore my previous comment which I deleted and make sure your hue network and firmwares are fully updated. some devices where/are still exploitable today if the update is not applied.
