So I've been playing with HA for a couple years. I've got a relatively small setup, with a repurposed laptop as my server and some wifi switches and lights.
I recently installed a Zigbee coordinator and plug. The purpose is to send an in-app notifications on current changes.
I was surprised to receive the notification while away from my home network. Is this not an on-prem / local config? What cloud service could be providing the transport for the notification?
I do not have an HA Cloud account configured.
I did not register the Zigbee controller or plug with their app or cloud account.
I'm scratching my head wondering if I've got a security issue exposing my network unnecessarily.
edit: This is configured in the app settings documentation
