    Which means disconnecting it’s WiFi, because some may connect to open hotspots without asking.

      ISP routers/modems will often have secondary wifi networks that allow access to subscribers. I can absolutely believe these smart devices connect to them automatically.

      Buy your own modem and router, and root the router to install Open Source firmware that gives you control of the internet.

      And maybe do some Minecraft stuff with the Flock camera down the street.
