The market is in an odd phase right now. People recognize the insecurity but continually pump out insecure products that early adopters keep installing so we wind up with these crazy hacks that take out huge swaths of IoT devices. The reality is the market is not mature so whatever you choose will likely change and you are likely responsible for implementing proper security controls at the Router to prevent stupid mistakes from being internet accessible. This will resolve itself and as a tech home automation will become secure, but right now it is still relatively early in the cycle, so be prepared to make it secure on your own. Also be aware that likely there will be many things you have to integrate at some level, as there doesn't seem to be a real standard yet.
