@KoosPol @filippo there’s no gateway to hide behind in this case unfortunately, it’s all small devices (and no Internet involved). And we’d like to be able to firmware update existing devices to the new stuff, replacing with new hardware would be very expensive.

@KoosPol @filippo @mikaeleiman > should be behind a gateway/proxy anyway IoT devices are not expected to have any external protection. This is a consumer market. We can not expect home owner to provide secure environment before they change old dumb LED-bulb for a new one equipped with BLE, motion sensors and microphones. Whether they use "smart" features of this bulb or not. Then we have many mandated by law devices that must be put in the car for safety and for national security reasons. A prime example are the direct TPMS sensors. E.g. a hackable TPMS in the tire will not deny our abilities to accurately monitor the good actors movements, but it may afflict our ability to track movements of the bad actors were they able to tamper with emitted by the tire IDs to mimic a secure-facility employee's car.
