I have a geeky prankster type younger brother who absolutely gets a kick out of messing with his neighbors' smart home setups.

From what he has said it's quite easy to access someones system and have a little fun. So I personally watch how much automating I do and don't wifi anything that could cause harm if hacked. Just some food for thought.

I for sure know that if it was made by humans another human can find a way to hack it. I know better than most since I have a bit more technical expertise than some. I do not worry about any of it really. With that logic you would never pay a bill online. EVERYTHING THAT IS ELECTRONIC CAN HE HACKED IN SOME FASHION!!! Didn’t mean to yell online, lol. But that was the perfect opportunity.
