Hack 22 Internet of Things

Cool video from defcon (only 1/2 way thru right now).  They authors are going thru a bunch of different hacks to get into firmware and such of embedded devices (different ones) to control them.  Some require physical access to UART serial debug ports on the systems.  The interesting one is the Wink Hub, which has support for multiple wireless protocols and is only $50, and apparently full of security holes.  Besides that it looks like a neat device.  Reviews are not so hot on amazon thought.
