2. Buy plugs and "things" that can be flashed to Tasmota. (these don't appear to be)
3. Set DHCP reservations for specific devices with their MAC to IP mapping.
4. Place them on a separate SSID on a separate VLAN that has extremely limited connectivity to other internal networks and the Internet.
5. Control DNS for the devices and return NXDOMAIN for the many obscure, unnecessary, and questionable domains they attempt to connect to.
6. Don't use their "app" to interact with them - use a home automation platform or similar to manage them, and interact with them through the automation app (or use your own custom API calls if so inclined) - see #1.
They take more work initially, but once the initial configuration is complete, I don't worry too much about them. The most challenging part anymore is finding ones that can be easily flashed to Tasmota because many of them switched to a different chip that's not as friendly to convert. However, it sounds like some progress is being made with those through alternative firmwares such as OpenBeken.
Not that most people are doing these things.
In other news, I have had success flashing some KMC devices (not this one) to tasmota/openbk.
GorillaBread is right. These types of gadgets are a hole that gives access to the rest of your network. Sort of like keeping your house key under the mat. Sure you only want the cleaning lady to use it but when someone else finds it...

Also, you're the first person I've encountered who monitors their network 24/7. Good on you mate.
