    I work in tech and I have a smart home w/ lights, switches, appliances and a controller. They are all on their own automation vlan that will never touch my home network. Sure "someone" is listening and can "hack" some of it. On the small, miniscule chance that happens I will deal with it. Until then the convenience is life changing.
