Keep a device inventory
Model, room, ecosystem, bridge and reset/setup code location are the useful minimum.
Protect account recovery
Use secure account-recovery methods and multi-factor authentication where supported.
Keep firmware and apps current
Updates can address security and interoperability problems.
Plan for replacement
Know which functions are important enough to replace quickly if a controller or bridge fails.
Keep in mind. Compatibility is not permanent. Confirm the current manufacturer, platform and certification information before purchasing, resetting or migrating a device.
