About Us

YourThings is an initiative to provide smart-home device owners with insights about the functionality and security of their devices. We evaluated over 50 devices spanning several categories such as home assitants, media devices, appliances, home security, and cameras. We also provide our data and scoring methodology to device vendors and welcome any collobration. If you are intrested in a device evaluation, get in touch with us and we will purchase and evaluate the device of interest.



Team Members

Our team members are made up of professors, research scientists, and graduate students with in-depth knowledge about system and network security. Their diverse industrial and academic backgrounds provides a unique opportunity to address some of the security gaps found in modern smart-home devices. Member profiles can be found at Astrolavos Lab Webpage
