One example I like to use (personally, not as Honeywell) is Blackhat/Defcon from a year ago (I forget which). They showed a ransomware takeover of a thermostat. Everyone started freaking out. Here is what they didn't say though: - You needed physical access - Thermostats are replaceable (as in put a new one on the wall) - It was not a major brand to my knowledge. Something you have to think about is path of least resistance.
