my hue devices support Bluetooth and Zigbee devices to allow for management through an app or a hue hub.
even if you do not use it, it will be available and active, and it explains your issue. I have had my neighbors lightbulbs added to my Zigbee network before I kicked them out, and I will imagine his cloud service saying about the same as you experienced.
but, I will not try to argue this any further, I just offered a probable reason, as that was what you asked for.
Huh. Well thanks for the info. I’m out of town so won’t be able to look further for a few days.
It’s just really surprising that the system by default allows passers by to connect and manage your devices. I don’t know my neighbors too well, but I do live next door to a Chris.
ignore my previous comment which I deleted and make sure your hue network and firmwares are fully updated.
some devices where/are still exploitable today if the update is not applied.
