Buy Brands not Devices
I think it is important to purchase products from Brands who have a lot to lose if their security and privacy is not up to scratch. We saw that a flaw was identified with the Ring Video Doorbell had a loophole which allowed hackers to access the wifi network. The Ring company was able to fix the flaw within 24 hours of been notified. Samsung and their ilk are incentivized to protect their brand and the multi billion IoT industry. I guess on top of this... everyone should be double checking permissions for any smart home application that they download.
I blog about these issues on my site http://smarthomesage.com/
