Ha, sucker, you think your non-Internet-connected lightbulbs make you safe? My Internet-connected lightbulbs have sent my online-car to wardrive your neighbourhood and sniff your Zigbee network!

…if you see my car please tell it to come back to me, I need to go to the shops…

Joke's on you - I can't even reach my Zigbee devices in the next room, your car won't have a chance from the street. That'll make it easier to convince it to come back home though.

That's because you don't have enough zigbee devices. They have to be everywhere so that they can mesh. Have you considered a zigbee carpet? It's great to link rooms together and it can share data with the zigbee vacuum cleaner.
