    So... I got a zigbee outlets bar because I want to control some stuff independently, and apparently the firmware does export its 5 switches at the zigbee interface, but will relay any command into all of them unless it detects you are using the app that goes to the cloud and requires an account...

    The shit is in all IoT, not only on the WiFi stuff.
