So, you could; buy lots of these. Take the bulbs and hub and modify the software further. Since they come in a 'box'; you can put them back in the box and then give them to people as gifts or promotional items.<p>You are now behind their firewall.<p>If you are a hacker and you manage to get into a factory in China or Taiwan or wherever that is making these; you swap out the base firmware with one of your own that dials home. You are now behind the firewall of all customers.<p>Just some random thoughts before bed.
