I can’t think of a great way to protect the WiFi password on smart bulbs that wouldn’t potentially be inconvenient or even dangerous.
Perhaps you could have the smart hub store the encrypted WiFi password, and require a manual unlock every time it cycles power. This would require something like a Bluetooth connection from your phone (since you obviously won’t have WiFi).
This would obviously be very inconvenient, and potentially dangerous in some situation where you need your home lighting. Perhaps the emergency situation can be solved by having smart bulbs turn on maximum brightness after cycling power (which I believe the Philips Hue bulbs do).
