Hue light bulbs vulnerability

@JDRoberts, look what I have found. You must be able to see the future.

Zigbee HA vs. Zigbee LL

Technically it’s a hubless mesh network, not peer to peer, because there’s still a distinction between controller nodes (like the Hue bridge) and device nodes (like Hue bulbs). It’s not that each node can both cue and perform requests as in true peer to peer. Rather in a mesh network each node can pass along information, which is not quite the same thing. Hue bulb A can’t command Hue bulb B to dim. It can only pass along the dim request that originated with a controller node like the Hue bridge. The difference in the ZLL standard is simply that each certified device is preauthorized to join the nearest network. The join network password comes installed on the device, and any node can verify it. So you don’t need a hub to authorize a new device. LIMITED CHANGES The only reason anyone …
