Perhaps. The Phillips Hue lights use an open standard, I bought a usb device that could talk it (ZigBee Light Link) but then it turned out that production devices used a master key.
Here's a discussion of the master key being leaked:

But I looked it it before that and never tried to look it up again.
So likely so, and with today's encryption it probably won't get hacked for hobbyists to use/learn/play but of course I guess the argument is that the Hue Bridge and other devices will have an API.
- eecc 7y agoI can recall something along the lines: used to be like that with Light Link but as of Zigbee 3 it’s really interoperable all round (Hue hub registering third party devices and Hue lamps working with generic hubs.) I’m still looking for other devices to mesh into a ZB3 network: I’d love to see an Opentherm capable controller able to use any connected thermometer and heating element valves to modulate heat flux production and distribution around my flat. Might be overthinking though... it’s so well thermally insulated.
