Using multi-factor authentication (e.g., password plus biometrics) to enhance security when accessing and controlling smart home devices.

Permission Management : Refining user permissions to prevent unauthorized operations.

Device Pairing : Using mutual authentication mechanisms (e.g., QR code scanning) to ensure new devices are trusted.

Automatic Updates: Ensuring that smart home device software and firmware can automatically update to fix known vulnerabilities and improve security.

User Notifications: Promptly notifying users of important security updates for manual installation.
