I'm in the process of designing a home automation system for my own cabin and news like this is giving me gas. Granted, mine probably won't be nearly as sophisticated (heat, lights, coffee machine etc...), but surely, it can't be an impossible task to combine convenience and security.
- ifelsethen 13y agowell, if you were even considering WeMo in the first place (even well before this vuln) you were 'doing it wrong'. a server with wifi in EVERY node is not the way to go about adding home automation. these devices you have no control over and rely on 'the cloud' have no business on your LAN.
