Garacesh Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I've been looking at the Nanoleaf Aurora recently and I'm sorely tempted to get one, but there's one issue: It's a 'smart' appliance. And we all know how this story so often ends up.. The kit itself seems fairly straightforward but I can't find any information about its security. I know it connects via Wi-Fi, and can be controlled by a device on the same network (i.e. a mobile phone or Home/Echo/other flavour of personal assistant) but their user manual doesn't offer much insight into anything specific as to whether it phones home or whatever. Failing that, it can simply not be connected to a network and it has a few built-in colour profiles and effects, but you lose all customisation that way. Also wondering if anybody has one and can give me their thoughts on it.
LeMarchand Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 No, but have you considered https://www.razerzone.com/gb-en/gaming-accessories/philips-hue ?
Garacesh Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 I have, but A) I don't want RGB lightbulbs, I want it as an accessory to the room, not as its main source of light, and B) the security of Philips Hue bulbs is laughably poor (or at least, it was a awhile back from what I dug up)
LeMarchand Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Ah! I was incorrectly assuming you wanted RGB in ALL THE THINGS!
howartp Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Not personally, but a chap called Jon (aka autolog) on my Home Automation forums has written a plugin for it, so him and the guys on those threads may have useful reading for you. Indigo Domotics • View forum - nanoleaf Controller Peter 1

Garacesh Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Could you stick all of your IoT devices (a.k.a. IoS ) on their own VLAN? Aye that would work, but my home router is a LinkSys WRT1900AC which doesn't support internal VLANs.. Not unless I wanna start screwing around with OpenWRT anyway. Edit: Ah!

LeMarchand Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 That would be @DalekSec You can see why I got confused! OK, I'll admit that failure to fact check got me thrown out of the Clark Kent Academy for Crusading Reporters. 1
