    This could mean that they eavesdrop on your router.

    ZigBee (home automation protocol) operates on 2.4 GHz just like WiFi.

    They could have guessed that there is a smart light or maybe they were able to look it up on your router.

      Yeah as far as I could tell there wasn’t any smart light (or unknown/untrusted device for that matter) authenticated to my router, so if they saw some random IOT device, they had some type of access. Maybe the smart light was interfering with the 2.4GHz band for some reason. Anyhow, I sold that router after a couple of days of not being able to resolve it with support, and I moved on to an openwrt router.
