> You're thinking too current.

Sure, because I know that the second the "industry" smartbulb is launched and connected to secure networks (someone will definitely provide a good reason to connect a lightbulb to a network with confidential data just like today you connect your phone over WiFi to a secure network to Snapstagram) IDS systems will detect flickering lights on all wavelengths thus preempting any attempt to exfiltrate data that way :). This would make the whole point moot. Hence me staying in the present.

In all seriousness there is absolutely no good reason to ever connect anything to a secure network that's not critical for the functioning of that system. But maybe I'm too current, maybe future networks are managed by... creative people.
