I look at most of that in the opposite way

> Security system: can arm it away from home if someone forgot to arm it, can disarm it remotely if coming back with heavy packages

Someone finding a zero day can turn off my security system

> Security cameras: can monitor them remotely if needed

Someone hacking my system can spy on me and my family members naked or doing other NSFW things

> Garage door

Same as above, someone will hack it to open my garage

> Lights and other devices:

Increases the surface area massively for getting hacked.

> Washer/dryer (same as previous item)

Further, each one is a chance to be monitored by 3rd parties and/or charged a subscription.

Just to pick one, i think there are many more likely threats to your home security system than a hacker with a zero day.

In the end, it’s about your personal threat model.

Effort matters.

We live in a world where anyone who can run a script can attack 10k houses while they're watching Spiderman. Old school burglars can only do one house at a time and they have to actually go to the house.
