The most knowledgeable IT people have the least IOT devices in their house.

    Eh. I’m pretty deep in IT but have a boatload of IoT. Though I admit the few that are WiFi enabled are mostly blocked from internet access.

    That doesn't include bt does it? I try to keep the things that connect to the internet to a minimum. Computer, phone, tablet, steam deck.

    A lot depends on how you use it and how accessible it is to the outside internet.

    I have a few smart devices, but they are all controlled locally. If my internet connection stops working, I still have full control of everything. I also have manual options in case my home network stops working.

    Not advice, do your own research: I don't see a big problem it Bluetooth. It can be hacked, but the person hacking has to be near you. That alone protects you from about 8 billion people.
