I stayed in a hotel with Android lightswitches and it was just as bad as you'd imagine
It's basically as bad as it could be - once I'd figured out the gateway, I could access the control systems on every floor and query other rooms to figure out whether the lights were on or not, which strongly implies that I could control them as well. Jesus Molina talked about doing this kind of thing a couple of years ago, so it's not some kind of one-off - instead, hotels are happily deploying systems with no meaningful security, and the outcome of sending a constant stream of "Set room lights to full" and "Open curtain" commands at 3AM seems fairly predictable.

The only Android phones other than the Galaxy S7 you should consider buying today
It’s time to celebrate, Android fans — Samsung’s hotly anticipated Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge have finally been released! The phones have been finding their way into consumers’ hands for more than a week now, which is obviously quite bizarre since they hadn’t officially been released. But March 11th is the launch date on the books and you’ll now find them in stores nationwide.
As great as Samsung’s new flagship duo is, however, there’s another pair of Android smartphones you might want to consider purchasing instead.
