    DDI engineer here. I use smart home stuff. Fully kitted out locks, cameras, Google home, smart lights, etc. that said, I also use pfsense, a dmvpn, and run a private caching name server. If someone hacks into my shit, then I deserve it and will learn from the experience. Also yes, I know the Google home, smart tv, FBI, and the Zoroaster prophet are listening to me, and no, I don’t care.

      People seem to think there are hackers driving around using smart home tech to hack into private home networks… that’s just not a thing.

      And your internal network should not be exposed to the Internet, so there’s no reason somebody should be able to hack into it from the outside because of a smart device phone home.

      The privacy concerns are valid, but if you’re concerned, you need to stop using the Internet. Because Facebook and Google ads already know everything about you.
