Many moons ago, Zigbee/Zwave stuff got spooked out of my head because the comms protocol was unencrypted, and anyone could walk by and start doing things to my devices. Has this improved at all? I don't like having every single smart device on my network talking WiFi either, but I can at least sandbox that stuff away to a separate network, and use things like HomeAssistant if I feel the need to go full paranoid android and limit external connectivity.
- folmar 5y agoAt least for Zigbee it was never the case, the encryption is there since the first version.
- zrail 5y agoNewer versions of Z-Wave are encrypted for "secure" devices, which afaict is most of them. My door locks are all set up in secure mode, and in fact if they're not linked in secure mode they're read-only.
