And what about the zigbee hub, assuming you didn’t know enough to use homeassistant or some such?

Or a wifi bulb?

Point is, consumer smart electronics don’t have the same attention to security paid to them.

Fwiw, I’m not anti-smart device. I run HA and have all kinds of smart crap, so clearly I accept at least part of the risk.

But saying “it’s just a light bulb” is disingenuous as best.
