Smart lighting security

Question

Is smart lighting secure or can it be hacked into or otherwise pose a security risk?

Chris · Answer

the security you get  out of it is the security you put into it. If you have your own VPN then this is  best. But if not then maybe stand  alone with an independent app not co ordinated to you main technology

Generally anything electronic is hackable if it’s connected to the internet. Generally smart lighting has its own Wi-Fi ssid only visible through the app which has some sort of encryption built in. It depends on the product on how hard or how easy it is as a lot of the cheaper products use third party generic smart home software apps. So in short Yes it’s hackable but no one uses this to hack unless they really want to hack it to gain access to your system.

Hi, it’s pretty secure. Not sure what security risks would arise from someone hacking your lightbulb?

Damian · Answer

"Smart" light bulbs promise energy efficiency and customizable features for homeowners, like remote-controlled mood lighting. But are they also a security risk? Maybe so, according to a recent study that explored how cybercriminals can use popular smart bulb brands to target people's personal information.
