While smart home devices are making it simple to manage room temperature, lighting, security cameras, door locks and more, they also can make you vulnerable to security breaches. Here are a few tips to help keep you safe:
· Mitigate hacking by giving your home network a unique name and a strong password.
· Use Wireless Protected Access (WPA2) networks and data plans from reputable vendors.
· Use the most secure hardware available (i.e.: routers) for your networks to reduce hacking.
· Download and update the correct product app to manage your smart devices and settings.
· Visit your smart home product site to create an account with a strong password.
· Manage the security and privacy settings of the smart devices product apps.
