       Today I learned that the alarm system that came with our house – a very popular one here in Ireland – can be disarmed via Siri. The default command?“Hey, Siri, disarm.”I shit you not.#security #smartHome #youGottaBeFuckingKiddingMe #siri #openSesame

       @aral Siri can be trained to recognize your voice. And in some security cases it asks to unlock your phone.

       @aral Barely any need for burglars to do that - when is the last time you saw anyone respond to an alarm?

       @rwwh In my experience that feature is far from foolproof currently and the kind of person who is going to use that default without thinking is going to be the last one to turn on voice recognition. Finally, HomePods are always on.

       @aral Can you change the disarm code, or better still, change the alarm? Tbh, I wouldn’t have Siri, Alexa or any such device about the place at all.

       @HarriettMB Yeah, you can. (And I did, of course.)

       @anatudor Got one of those too :) Not much of a guard dog, though. Ours would show the thief where the fridge is and ask to be fed.

       @populistensohn Alarm.com (you have to manually enable the Siri Shortcuts but they come with that default if you do).
