As someone who works in IOT, my guess is this is a new feature for servicing. Letting a technician communicate with appliances, machines, etc.. over bluetooth using their phones is becoming more and more popular and the security around these features is designed to be as simple as possible to avoid calls to tech support. Getting access could be as simple as entering the service companies id. It's like how heavy machinery drivers just leave the keys in their vehicle cause it's easier to share and they assume no one else will try to use it.
- bluGill 3y agoHeavy machinery all has the same key unless the customer paid for the option to have different keys. Most modern stuff has a GPS attached and some form of cell connection: the machine won't start if the machine isn't in the geographical area it is supposed to be. If you have the key you can start anything.
